Qualify every food and catering lead before the first conversation
Cliont gives food and catering businesses a guided intake for every line of the business — bakery orders, mobile food bookings, institutional contracts, private chef requests, meal prep sign-ups, and private dining reservations — each with its own questions, uploads, and scoring. Every enquiry is qualified before it reaches your team, so staff, kitchen capacity, and delivery logistics only get committed to leads worth pursuing.

Across every food and catering service, Cliont intakes are built to capture:
Food and Catering covers the businesses that feed people for events, on an ongoing basis, or in place of a restaurant meal — from wedding cakes and mobile food trucks to institutional meal contracts, private chefs, meal prep services, and private dining bookings. Each subservice needs its own intake because a wedding cake enquiry, a corporate lunch contract, and a private chef booking require completely different qualifying details before a business can commit staff, ingredients, or a quote.

Food and Catering lead-intake FAQs
Do I need a different intake for each part of my catering business?
Yes — a bakery order and an institutional food service contract ask for entirely different information, so Cliont routes each subservice (Bakery and Desserts, Mobile Food Services, Institutional Food Service, Private Chef, Meal Preparation, Restaurant Reservations and Private Dining, Specialized Meal Services) to its own guided intake rather than a single generic contact form.
Can one intake cover both event catering and recurring meal services?
No — event-based subservices like Bakery and Desserts or Mobile Food Services ask about a single date, guest count, and venue, while ongoing subservices like Meal Preparation or Specialized Meal Services ask about frequency and duration, so each is scored differently.
How does Cliont stop us from over-committing staff or kitchen capacity?
Each subservice intake qualifies enquiries against the specifics that determine feasibility — date, headcount, or service length — before a lead reaches your CRM, so your team is only reviewing requests you can realistically staff and fulfill.
What if a host or planner isn't sure which service they need?
Hosts and planners select the relevant service on the page they land on — for example Private Chef versus Restaurant Reservations and Private Dining — and the intake adapts its questions to that specific subservice rather than asking generic catering questions.
Does Cliont work for businesses that only offer one type of catering service?
Yes — a business focused only on Bakery and Desserts, for instance, can use just that subservice's intake without needing to set up the other food and catering subservices.
