Cedars Catering: from “What should I order?” to a ready-to-review quote.
Foyer designed and built a branded AI catering planner and restaurant operations portal for Cedars Catering. The experience connects menu discovery, quoting, payment, and kitchen handoff in one customer journey.
- Accepts a natural-language description of the gathering.
- Drafts a restaurant-approved buffet around the occasion, guest count, timing, service method, and stated preferences.
- Makes assumptions visible and keeps every suggested dish editable.
- Shows a live catering quote alongside the planning flow.
- Guides qualified orders to payment and routes exceptions to restaurant review.
- Organizes inquiries, invoices, paid orders, kitchen documents, refunds, and reporting in one portal.
The customer begins with the occasion, headcount, timing, service style, and preferences in their own words.
The planner creates a transparent starting point, keeps selections editable, and shows how the quote changes.
Requests, invoices, payments, customer corrections, kitchen documents, refunds, and reporting stay connected.
Catering customers often know the event they are planning but not the exact menu. A basic form turns that uncertainty into repeated calls and emails before the restaurant can prepare a useful quote.
This is not a generic chatbot placed on a restaurant website. It is a restaurant-specific sales and operations layer designed around the way Cedars actually caters.
