For caterers who also sell meal prep
Price your weekly menu like you price an event
You cater on the weekend and sell weekly meal prep on the side. CaterKit already does the hard half you do today: what every portion costs, what to charge, a branded quote your client accepts on their phone, and the prep and pack lists for cook day.
Free is 2 new events a month — no card, no countdown.
What it does today
Every menu prices itself per portion
A 20-meal week and a 120-meal week come from the same recipes, with no re-costing from scratch when the order doubles — enter your proteins, sides, and containers once with pack sizes and costs.
Quote the standing order tonight
The inquiry lands Sunday night; your itemized, branded quote goes back the same evening with a deposit line and an accept button. Clients pay you directly — your money lands in your own accounts and never sits in a CaterKit balance.
Cook day runs on lists
Shopping, prep, and pack lists build themselves from what you sold — scaled to the portion count, checkable one-handed at the bench, and working offline when the kitchen Wi-Fi drops.
What a weekly menu goes for
A 40-portion weekly drop-off menu, per portion
$23.50 – $39.00
The week's run
$940.00 – $1,560.00
2026 market range: delivered drop-off service, standard protein, three sides, national cost average. A meal-prep box prices the same way a drop-off plate does — per portion, from your own ingredients. Your number comes from your recipes.

Three things worth doing next
Know the margin, not a guess
Thin-margin volume is exactly where a few cents a portion decides whether the week made money. Record what an order actually cost — food, labor, and overhead against what you charged — and CaterKit shows the real margin on every event, so you price the next run from truth instead of a feeling.
