Catering requests and company lunches, answered from one inbox

Catering is a large order, paid in advance, on a day you pick. Yet enquiries come by phone, email and Instagram, each quote starts from a blank page, and the customer who asked three kitchens takes the first reply.

Office orders repeat, which makes them better still. But companies want an approval, a purchase order number and an invoice, none of which fit a takeout ticket.

Switch on catering and mark the dishes you cater for, with how many people each serves. In settings add your lead time, delivery area and deposit.

A request arrives with the date, headcount and dietary needs. Build a quote from your menu and your own quoting rules. The customer sees only the lines you choose; the rules stay internal. A new quote replaces an unanswered one, so no customer holds two prices.

When they accept, the deposit is paid in the app, the balance follows your terms and the job lands on your calendar.

Teams is a separate ordering app for companies, never for individuals. An office sends a one-off order, runs a pick-your-own lunch where each person chooses a dish from a link, sets a standing order that repeats each week, or buys vouchers and tickets for named staff.

You answer a company order like any request. It carries the company, the office, the cost centre and a purchase order number where there is one. A pick-your-own lunch arrives as one order with a sheet of who chose what, and labelled meals print on standard label sheets.

The company sets rules: an order over a set amount, over a monthly budget or from a named person waits for an approver, who decides from an email link or the app. If your quote comes in above what the approver saw, it goes back to them before it can be accepted.

Budgets are spending limits on the company's side, a gate on a purchase and not a sum of money held by Mosey. You see the company's name and an order count, never its budget, members or card.

The customer pays into your own Stripe account. A Canadian company pays by card. If you offer invoice terms, you decide order by order, and Mosey never fronts the money or takes on the debt. GST/HST and any provincial tax are worked out by Mosey's tax engine.

What Mosey is about

• Affordable tools for food businesses

  Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.

• A full suite, in one login

  The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.

• You keep more of your revenue

  Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.

• Free to list and claim

  Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.

• No hidden fees

  What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.

• Made for local food businesses

  Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.
