Problem
Catering businesses in Toronto often miss online inquiries or respond slowly because they lack a dedicated, always‑available staff member to handle website and social media messages, leading to lost sales and inefficient quote processes.

The chatbot engages visitors 24/7, gathers event details, and generates instant quote ranges. Collected information is packaged into ready‑to‑close leads and delivered instantly via Slack, email, or SMS, ensuring the sales team never misses a high‑intent inquiry. By automating order‑taking and follow‑up, Caterbots speeds up the sales cycle and helps caterers convert more online traffic into paid orders.
