Change the covers, then run the gateReplica of the Caterfold function screen, with sample data.
A catering enquiry is more than a menu.
Sales promises a service the kitchen cannot deliver.
The quote leaves before anyone checks ovens, hot-hold, brigade or access against the menu.
Recipes, costs and quotations live in separate files.
The margin on the quote and the margin after settlement are calculated in different places, so nobody can explain the gap.
Event changes reach the kitchen too late.
Forty extra guests or a new venue arrive by email. The prep list still shows last week's numbers.
A changed guest count arrives as a review, not a forwarded email.
When the organiser changes the event in event.clinic, the change lands in Caterfold with the quantities and costs it touches. Accept it, and the production plan, food cost and Service Gate follow.

Quote and settle from one costing engine.
Costing Spine prices the menu from recipes, yields and dated supplier prices. After the event, the settlement is compared with the quote, and every difference names its cause.

| Beef fillet supplier price changed 3 October | +€82 |
| Canapé over-production, logged as waste | +€70 |
