Por qué los caterings siguen en Excel y presupuestos Word
SoftRestaurant gestiona el comedor, Word el presupuesto, el email el seguimiento — ninguno cubre evento + buffet + depósito en Mi cuenta Woo nativo.
The WordPress caterer problem
Too many tools, zero unified journey.
A caterer shouldn't need three apps and a spreadsheet for the first wedding quote.
- SoftRestaurant: dining room — outside Woo event My Account
- Word quote: manual template — no traceable history
- Excel: covers and menus — no client event record
- Email: Gmail thread — no structured quote or deposit
- Native WooCommerce: zero events or buffet quotes
- No industry preset or JSON export for agency handoff
The Traiteur Devis answer
Freemium caterer journey, native Woo checkout.
TRD follows the event flow: brief, buffet quote, deposit validation — 4 presets and JSON export without a fragmented stack.
- Event records (date, venue, covers, allergies) linked to Woo customer
- Quote lines menu + service + rental — native Woo products
- Event deposit — client My Account
- Woo checkout — deposit or caterer balance
- 4 presets: Wedding, Corporate, Cocktail, Family buffet

FAQ
SoftRestaurant, Word quotes, Excel, email, native checkout and Volade account.
For the essential freemium journey (event, buffet quote, French caterer deposit) — yes. SoftRestaurant stays relevant for heavy dining POS; TRD avoids stacking 2–3 tools to start a caterer on Woo.
