Frequently asked questions
Who is Univents catering software for?
For caterers and event caterers of any size — from inquiry through quote, kitchen and staffing to invoicing, all in one system instead of Excel and five separate tools.
Do I need technical skills or training?
No. Univents is intuitive and ready to use immediately. Most teams get started without any training.
Does Univents calculate production lists and quantities automatically?
Yes. Bookings automatically generate production lists, quantities and lead times — including a kitchen monitor with status and owners.
Can I create quotes and invoices in my own branding?
Yes. Layouts, logo, colors and text blocks are fully customizable. Quotes are ready in minutes, with digital signature and direct payment.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, 7 days with full feature access, no credit card. Your data is retained when you subscribe afterwards.
What does catering software like Univents cost?
Univents starts free with the Free plan — 4 quotes per month included, no credit card required. Paid plans start at the Core plan from 299 €/month and scale with your business size, cancellable monthly. All plans are listed on our pricing page.
Is Univents also a good fit for party service businesses?
Yes. Party service businesses calculate buffets and menus, plan deliveries and staff, and create quotes — in the same software used for classic catering. There is no separate party service version, you simply use the features you need.
Is Univents catering software for small businesses too?
Yes. The Free plan lets you start with no setup effort and no sales call — create an account and get going. Univents grows with your business, and you unlock additional features only once you actually need them.
What is a catering program and what should it do?
A catering program brings the whole catering workflow into one place: inquiries and customers, quotes with menu and buffet items, quantities per guest, production and packing lists for the kitchen, staff planning, and deposit and final invoices. Univents covers exactly that workflow – in the browser, with no installation.
What does catering management in Univents include?
Customer contacts with history, all events in the calendar, quotes, order confirmations, delivery notes and invoices. Plus products with allergens and purchase prices, shift planning and tasks. You match incoming payments from your bank statement, and booking data goes to your accounting via DATEV export or integration.
Does Univents work as wedding catering software?
Yes. Wedding inquiries arrive in the system through your inquiry form, you put menu and buffet together as their own block in the quote, you invoice the deposit from the same document, and the kitchen gets its function sheet with guest count and schedule.
