CCAIN
Early access · Built with Act Catered Events

From inquiry to booked-and-paid. On autopilot.

CAIN is the AI back office for independent caterers and venues. It reads your inquiries, drafts fully priced proposals, and lets clients sign and pay online — while you cook, or turn the room around.

🎉 Deposit paid — event booked on your calendar

One loop, three steps

The whole back office is built around the only flow that pays: inquiry → proposal → deposit.

1

An inquiry arrives

Paste an email or share your inquiry link. CAIN reads it and captures the lead — guests, date, budget, event type — in seconds.

2

CAIN drafts the proposal

One click turns a lead into a fully priced proposal built from your menu and your prices. Review, tweak, send.

3

Client signs & pays online

Your client gets a clean page to approve and pay the deposit. The moment they pay, the event books itself onto your calendar.

CAIN — Catering AI Network

Staff, not a chatbot.

CAIN reads incoming inquiries, extracts the details, drafts proposals from your real menu, and files what is not worth your time. You stay in control — CAIN drafts, you approve, clients pay.

Inbox

CAIN watches for real inquiries and quietly files everything else.

Pipeline

Every event from new to booked on one board. Nothing slips.

Calendar

Booked events and soft holds in one view, so you never double-book.

Payments

Deposits, balances, and a ledger that keeps itself honest.

Simple pricing, right on the homepage

One flat price. Every feature. Unlimited users. No setup fee, no demo call, cancel anytime.

You don't have to keep up with AI. That's the job you hired CAIN for.

The field moves every few months. You have events this weekend. So we do the keeping up — new models are tested against real proposals, real menus and real money, and folded in only when they earn their place.

You never see the upgrade. You just notice a quieter Monday: fewer emails to write, fewer numbers to check, less of the night-time admin that came with the job.

Nothing to migrate

Same login, same menu, same links you have already sent to clients. Software that gets better should not cost you a weekend.

Your prices are never guessed

Every figure on a proposal is calculated from your menu and your rates — computed, not generated. That rule does not change no matter how good the models get.

You keep the last word

CAIN drafts. You read it, change it, and decide when it goes. Nothing reaches a client that you did not send.

Book more events. Chase less paper.

Set up takes minutes: add your menu, share your inquiry link, and let CAIN handle the rest.
