AI at Cateroo

What the AI does, and what it never does

AI is used to draft, summarise, count and check. Every decision that costs money, changes a booking, or affects a caterer's standing is made by a person clicking a button.

It does

Plan with you

Turns a conversation into a brief and a shortlist, with reasons.

Build menus

Picks dishes within a caterer's own package rules and your dietary counts.

Explain quotes

Summarises differences and flags things to check. Never ranks by who pays Cateroo more.

Summarise reviews

From verified reviews only, never from the caterer's own copy.

Count dietary needs

From your guest list. The list itself is not stored or shared.

Draft for caterers

Quotes, replies and prep sheets in their own voice, from their own data.

Read documents for admin

Insurance, council letters, FSA and Companies House records.

Flag risk

Off-platform steering, unsafe allergy answers, fake reviews.

It never

Books or pays

No booking, payment, refund or payout happens without a human tap.

Sends a message on your behalf

Drafts only. You press send.

Publishes allergens

Caterers confirm every allergen; unconfirmed dishes cannot go live.

Ranks search results

Default search is rating, response rate and hygiene. AI only explains.

Decides disputes or approvals

Suggests with reasons; an admin decides and the reasoning is logged.

Sees caterers off Cateroo

Answers come only from Cateroo listings, prices, reviews and policies.

Trains on your private data

Guest lists, messages and documents are not used to train models.

Pretends to be human

Every AI message is labelled. Talk to a human is always one tap away.
