From the first inquiry to the final invoice — plus your dish catalog, inventory, public storefront and white-label team settings, all connected.
Leads & Inquiries
Turn every phone call into a trackable opportunity — budget, guest count, ceremony type and source — and move it New → Quoted → Negotiating → Won.
Customer Management
Individuals, corporates, planners and venues — each with full booking history.
Bookings
Deposits, contracts and minimum guarantee, all in one place.
Quotations & Invoices
Versioned quotes convert to invoices in one click — then print or send them to clients as a polished PDF in your own brand, logo, colours and GSTIN included.
Dish Catalog
Every dish with recipe, per-plate cost, cuisine and veg / non-veg.
Events
Many events per booking — Mehendi, Nikah, Walima — each with its own venue, headcount and service style.
Ingredient & Inventory
Stock on hand, par levels and auto-procurement per event.
Public Storefront
A branded mini-site of your menu — drag sections to build it.
From the first inquiry to the final invoice.
Purpose-built for catering — every lead, every plate, every event and every rupee in one system, instead of spreadsheets and WhatsApp threads.
One thread from the first call to the final bill.
Every inquiry becomes a trackable opportunity that flows — without re-keying — into a quotation, a confirmed booking, the events themselves, and finally an invoice. The complete catering order management system.
- Capture every inquiry with budget, guest count, ceremony type and source.
- Pipeline stages — New → Quoted → Negotiating → Won — with follow-up reminders.
- Convert in one click from a won lead to customer, booking and quote.
Know your margin on every plate.
Build each dish once with its recipe and ingredient costs, and Ziyafat shows your true per-plate cost beside the selling price — so you quote with confidence whether it's 100 guests or 2,000. Complete catering accounting and inventory management in one place.
- Recipe builder links ingredients per 100 guests and auto-costs the plate.
- Live margin on every dish, with veg / non-veg and cuisine tags.
- Procurement view totals exact ingredient quantities for each event.
One booking. Mehendi, Nikah and Walima.
A single wedding usually means several functions across days and venues. Keep them under one booking with shared client, deposit and contract — while each event carries its own date, venue, headcount and service style.
- Multiple events per booking, each scheduled with setup, service and breakdown times.
- Service styles — buffet, plated, live counters, stations or combo — set per event.
- Deposit, contract & minimum guarantee tracked across the whole booking.
Your brand, your team, your rules.
Set Ziyafat up once and the whole platform — every quotation, invoice and your public menu — wears your identity. Then invite your team and decide who can see and do what.
- Customisable brand colours, logo and banner — applied to every PDF and your storefront.
- Defaults that stick — GSTIN, bank details, tax & service rates, invoice prefix.
- Role-based team access — invite managers and staff, and assign leads and bookings to them.
Run the numbers, send the paperwork.
Your live dashboard and the quote-to-invoice money trail — every figure in real time, every document printed in your own brand.
Your whole catering business, at a glance.
Open Ziyafat to the two numbers that matter most — how many leads you're winning and how much money has actually landed — beside live charts for revenue and bookings by ceremony type.
- Lead win rate & revenue paid front and centre, not buried in a report.
- Everything updates in real time — no manual tallying, no Excel formulas.
- Revenue by ceremony type shows you which functions drive the most value.
Versioned proposals, approved and signed online.
Build a quote from your dish catalog with per-plate pricing, charges and deposit terms. Track every version, let clients approve and e-sign — then print or send it as a branded PDF.
- Line items from the catalog with auto subtotal, tax and per-person price.
- Version tracking — v1, v2, v3 — with old versions marked superseded.
- Branded PDF clients can approve and pay a deposit on.
Valid 14 days
From approved quote to paid invoice.

- Payment tracking — amount paid, balance due, method and date.
- Branded PDF with your logo, colours, GSTIN and bank details.
