Collect the details that affect price
Use an embeddable inquiry and InstaQuote flow to collect dates, locations, guest counts, service choices, and visual preferences before building the final proposal.
Coffee cart catering software
Coffee cart catering software from inquiry to event day.
Crema connects the customer, quote, payment, calendar, staffing, and event details behind mobile coffee catering—without turning your operation into a patchwork of spreadsheets.
The short answer
What software does a coffee cart catering business need?
A coffee cart needs more than a contact list. Each booking can involve guest tiers, service hours, travel, additional baristas, branded materials, specialty drinks, venue requirements, and changing event details. Crema keeps those decisions connected from the first inquiry through the event.
Built for event work
Built around how mobile coffee events are sold
The workflow is product-led and practical: qualify the event, price it clearly, help the customer decide, and give the team an accurate plan to deliver.
Price packages and add-ons consistently
Organize base services, hours, guest tiers, extra staff, travel, branded cups, latte printing, and other add-ons in a reusable catalog instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet for every lead.
Sell the experience visually
Present multiple quote options with photos and clear line items, then keep opens, comparisons, client messages, and acceptance status visible from the lead record.
Collect deposits where the booking happens
With Square connected, customers can accept and pay through the published booking experience. Deposit settings and optional tipping remain tied to the event.
Schedule carts, people, and dates
Keep multi-day events and blackout rules on the calendar, poll staff availability, assign baristas, and preserve the information the event team needs.
Build a useful repeat-client history
Connect past events, payer details, invoices, and company relationships so the next brand activation, office event, or wedding starts with context.
