A Catering Management System (CMS) is a software application designed to streamline and optimize the various tasks involved in managing a catering business. It helps catering companies manage their operations more efficiently, from receiving customer orders to organizing events, tracking inventory, and billing. The system can be used by catering staff, event organizers, kitchen personnel, and management to enhance workflow, improve communication, and ensure high-quality service.
