Built for Catering Companies
You’re quoting on a 300-cover wedding and a 60-cover corporate lunch in the same week. Every event has different menus, different costings, different supplier orders. Inntally gives you one platform to cost menus accurately, order ingredients per event, track what was actually used, and know your profit before you send the final invoice.
Meet The Old Quarter
A 12-person catering company in Cork running 4–5 events per week — weddings, corporate lunches, private parties, and festival pop-ups. Founder Aoife was doing everything on spreadsheets, losing money on events she thought were profitable, and spending 14 hours a week on admin instead of cooking.
“We Thought the Wedding Made Money. It Lost €2,800.”
Aoife quoted a 300-cover wedding at €85 per head. She estimated food costs at €22 per head based on an old spreadsheet. But ingredient prices had risen 18% since the quote. The actual food cost was €31.40 per head. She didn’t find out until the event was over and the receipts were totalled up two weeks later.
Live Recipe Costs. Accurate Quotes. Real Profit.
Now every recipe in Aoife’s library updates automatically when supplier prices change. When she quotes a wedding, the per-head cost reflects today’s ingredient prices — not last quarter’s. After the event, she sees actual vs. budgeted cost per dish, per ingredient, per cover.
Ordering for 4 Events at Once. In Her Head.
With a wedding on Saturday, a corporate on Thursday, a christening on Sunday, and a market stall on Friday — Aoife was manually combining ingredient lists across events. She’d order 20kg of chicken total, but couldn’t track how much went to each event. When half a salmon was left over from Thursday, nobody recorded it — it appeared on Friday’s cost instead.
Order Per Event. Track Per Event. Profit Per Event.
Each event in Inntally gets its own order list generated automatically from the menu and cover count. Smart consolidation combines orders to the same supplier across events — but attributes every kilo and every euro back to the event it belongs to. Leftover tracking moves unused stock between events automatically.
The Environmental Health Officer Called. The Logbook Was in the Van.
Catering businesses operate across multiple venues. Temperature logs, allergen records, cleaning checklists — they’re on clipboards in the prep kitchen, in the van, at last Saturday’s venue. When an allergen audit request came from a corporate client, Aoife spent 3 hours pulling records from four different folders, a WhatsApp group, and a paper logbook.
Digital Compliance. Anywhere. Audit-Ready in 30 Seconds.
Inntally’s Compliance module works on any phone, anywhere — prep kitchen, van, or venue. Temperature logs, cleaning checklists, and HACCP records are submitted digitally with timestamps and GPS. When a corporate client asks for allergen documentation, Aoife exports the full PDF in 30 seconds directly from each recipe.

I used to spend every Sunday evening at the kitchen table costing next week’s events on a spreadsheet. Now I build the menu in Inntally, the costing happens automatically, and I generate the order list in two clicks. The wedding that lost us €2,800 could never happen again — I can see the real GP% before I even send the quote. We saved over €50K in the first year and won two corporate accounts we would never have landed without the digital compliance pack.
