Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Catermi — the AI-powered catering management platform built for serious catering operations.

What is Catermi?

Catermi is an AI-powered multi-tenant catering management SaaS platform designed for professional catering businesses. It manages the entire order lifecycle — from order creation through kitchen production, packing, and delivery — via 7 dedicated role-based dashboards for Admin, Chef, Packer, Driver, Sales, Support, and Kitchen Station Staff. Built on Laravel 12, Vue 3, and PostgreSQL with pgvector, Catermi combines real-time operations, AI automation, and deep integrations in one platform.

What features does Catermi include?

Catermi includes: AI route optimization using OR-Tools VRPTW and Google Maps Distance Matrix; real-time order management with smart order numbering; kitchen production dashboard; QR-based packing verification; GPS driver tracking with offline PWA; AI voice and chat ordering via Twilio; WhatsApp ordering channel; pgvector semantic search; customer churn prediction; ingredient inventory auto-deduction; online storefront with custom subdomain; multi-gateway payments (Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net); and accounting integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, Sage Intacct, Restaurant365, and Wave.

How much does Catermi cost?

Catermi offers three plans: Starter at $99/month (up to 15 team members, 500 orders/month, core dashboards); Professional at $249/month (up to 50 members, unlimited orders, all 7 dashboards, full AI features); and Enterprise at $599/month (unlimited members, multi-location, custom AI, dedicated success manager, white-label apps). Annual billing saves 20%. All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.

How does AI route optimization work in Catermi?

Catermi solves the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) using Google's OR-Tools running in a dedicated Docker microservice. It pulls real-world drive times from the Google Maps Distance Matrix API and computes optimal delivery sequences for each driver schedule — minimizing total drive time while respecting delivery time windows. Drivers additionally receive AI-generated personalized tips for each stop (powered by GPT-4o-mini). Admin can review a full AI schedule analysis before dispatching.

Does Catermi integrate with QuickBooks and other accounting software?

Yes. Catermi uses a pluggable provider architecture that supports QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, Restaurant365, and Wave Accounting. Integrations use OAuth2 or credentials depending on the platform. Invoice generation, dish catalog syncing, and ingredient expense tracking all sync automatically in the background via Laravel job queues. New accounting providers can be added without changing existing code.

Can catering customers place orders online?

Yes. Each catering company on Catermi gets a fully customizable online storefront accessible via a dedicated subdomain (e.g., your-company.catermi.com) or custom path. The store supports custom branding (colors, fonts, image shapes, layout), full menu display with dietary and allergen tags, and multi-gateway checkout: Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, plus offline methods (cash on delivery, bank transfer, phone payment). AI chat and voice ordering are also available via Twilio and WhatsApp.

Does Catermi have a mobile app for drivers?

Yes. Catermi includes a Progressive Web App (PWA) specifically optimized for drivers. It supports offline mode, Firebase push notifications, AI-optimized route navigation, stop-by-stop delivery instructions with customer notes, digital signature capture, photo upload at delivery, and real-time GPS tracking. No app store installation required — drivers access it directly from any mobile browser and can add it to their home screen.

What makes Catermi different from other catering software?

Catermi differentiates through: (1) AI-first architecture with genuine OR-Tools VRPTW optimization, not heuristic guesses; (2) true multi-tenant SaaS with complete data isolation and per-company customization; (3) 7 purpose-built role dashboards instead of generic staff access; (4) event-driven notification system configurable without code changes; (5) 5 accounting platform integrations with a pluggable architecture; (6) pgvector semantic search on orders, dishes, and inventory; and (7) a complete online storefront with payment processing included at no extra cost.

Is there a free trial? Is a credit card required?

Yes — Catermi offers a 14-day free trial on all plans with no credit card required. The trial grants full access to all features of the selected plan. Trial periods are available only once per company account. After the trial ends, you can subscribe to any paid plan or cancel without being charged. Annual billing is available with a 20% discount.

What technology powers Catermi?

Catermi is built on Laravel 12 (PHP 8.2+) for the backend REST API, Vue 3 SPA with PrimeVue and Pinia for the frontend, PostgreSQL with pgvector for relational data and semantic search, MongoDB for AI interaction logs, Redis with Laravel Horizon for job queues, and Laravel Reverb for real-time WebSocket communication. Route optimization runs in a dedicated Docker container using Google OR-Tools. AI features use OpenAI GPT-4o and GPT-4o-mini models. The platform is deployed via Docker Compose with GitHub Actions CI/CD.

The Complete Catering Management Solution

Catering Software Built for the Full Operation

Catermi is purpose-built catering management software that handles every stage of your business — order intake, kitchen production, packing, delivery, and billing — in a single platform. Whether you run corporate catering, event catering, or a full-service catering company, Catermi replaces disconnected spreadsheets, phone calls, and fragmented tools with a unified catering management system.

Unlike generic restaurant management platforms, Catermi is designed specifically for B2B catering operations that need to manage high guest counts, multi-stop deliveries, and complex order customizations across multiple clients simultaneously.

AI Automation Across Every Workflow

Catermi's AI-powered catering platform doesn't just add a chatbot — it embeds intelligence throughout operations. The OR-Tools route optimization engine solves real VRPTW problems, not heuristic estimates. The pgvector semantic search lets you find orders, dishes, and customers using natural language. The AI voice ordering system via Twilio handles phone orders automatically. And the customer churn prediction engine flags at-risk accounts before they leave.

These aren't add-on features — they're core to how Catermi manages daily catering operations, making it the leading AI catering software for professional catering businesses.

Integrations with Your Existing Tools

Catermi connects to QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage Intacct, Restaurant365, and Wave Accounting for seamless invoice and expense management. Payment processing runs through Stripe, PayPal, Square, and Authorize.net. Delivery routing uses the Google Maps Distance Matrix API. Driver notifications run through Firebase. SMS, voice AI, and WhatsApp ordering use Twilio. Every integration is built with a pluggable architecture — adding a new accounting provider or payment gateway requires no changes to existing code.
