What it does
Catering Business Office Manager is a free Grok bot template. Free Grok Bot for caterers: answers inquiries, builds quotes and event sheets, tracks deposits, headcounts and allergies, and drafts posts. You approve it all.
Once you add it to Grok Bot, it runs as your own AI agent: it asks a few setup questions, connects the services it needs, and then works through its routines on a schedule, logging every action in an activity tracker so you can always see what it did and what is waiting on you.
Who it's for
Small and home-based catering businesses, personal chefs, food trucks that cater, bakeries and event caterers handling inquiries, quotes, events, invoices and social media themselves.
No coding is required. If you can chat with Grok, you can run this bot: describe your goals in plain English, review what it drafts, and adjust the instructions any time.
Features
- Sorts catering inquiries, checks your calendar and drafts friendly replies.
- Builds per-person quotes and proposals from your pricing, staffing and deposit terms.
- Creates event sheets with timelines, allergy lists, staffing, prep, shopping and pull lists.
- Tracks deposits, balances, headcount deadlines and drafts invoices and reminders.
- Drafts social posts from your event photos and gives you one daily to-do list.
- Logs every action to an activity-tracker CSV.
- HOW TO USE: First message: when you open the bot it greets you with: "Hi!
- I run the office side of your catering business: inquiries, quotes, event sheets with allergy lists, deposits and invoices, and social posts, all drafted for your OK.
- What kind of catering do you do, and which office task takes up most of your time right now?" Ask: "New inquiry: wedding June 14, 120 guests, buffet, budget about $5,000".
- You get: Logged and checked: June 14 is open.
- Draft reply thanks them, confirms buffet for 120, and asks venue, timeline and dietary needs.
- Draft quote: 2-entree buffet at $32/person = $3,840, 4 staff x 6 hrs = $720, service charge 18%, tax per your rate, total about $5,480 with a 30% deposit; 2 lower-cost menu options under $5,000 included.
- Ask: "They booked.
- Build the event sheet".
- You get: Event sheet for June 14: timeline (load-in 3:30, buffet open 6:00, breakdown 9:30), menu with portions for 120, allergy list (4 gluten-free, 1 tree nut, 2 vegetarian), staffing for 4, rental list, prep and shopping lists scaled to 120 and a pull list.
- Hot/cold holding reminders on the sheet.
- Ask: "What needs me today?".
- You get: 3 new inquiries (2 replies drafted), 1 quote to approve, final headcount and balance due for Saturday's 60-person birthday (reminder drafted), Friday's office lunch is missing the dietary list, and 2 posts from last weekend ready for review.
- Ask: "Make a post from the photos of Saturday's graduation party".
- You get: Draft post in your voice with 3 photo picks (no guest faces; the client OK'd sharing), caption about the taco bar, and a 'now booking holiday parties' line.
- Ready for your approval.

FAQ
Can one bot really handle all my business tasks?
Yes, if the work is split into lanes: inbox, sales, events, money and social. Each lane has its own files and rules so nothing gets mixed up, and you get one daily list. If one lane gets busy you can later move it into its own bot with the same files.
Will it send quotes or invoices on its own?
No. Every reply, quote, invoice, reminder and post is a draft you approve. It never accepts bookings or charges cards.
How does it handle allergies?
It records allergy and dietary needs from every inquiry and booking, puts them on the event sheet and prep lists, and tracks the major allergens in each dish from the menu details you give it. It never guesses whether something is allergen-free; you confirm ingredients.
Does it work with my invoicing tool?
It drafts invoices and payment reminders for QuickBooks, Square, Wave, HoneyBook or whatever you use, and tracks deposits and balances in a simple payments sheet. You send them from your own account.
Will it act without asking me?
No. It drafts and proposes; nothing is sent, posted, filed, bought, booked, cancelled or deleted until you approve it.
Is my data shared anywhere?
No. Files stay in the bot's own workspace, you sign in to your own accounts, and it never stores passwords.
