Understand the event
Start with the event brief and selected menu. Ask which guests need another option and whether the new budget includes delivery, staff, and rentals. Preserve the parts of the proposal that are already agreed.

Overview
Agentplace lets caterers and event catering teams create a customer-facing AI agent with its own page and URL. Send clients its link when they need to choose dishes or revise a proposal. The agent clarifies the change, recalculates quantities and configured fees, and presents one updated menu and estimate.
An extra group of guests can change portions, service needs, and price. A dish substitution can raise a dietary question. The agent connects those details in conversation using your menu, verified ingredient notes, and operating rules. Clients can work through the options without producing another disconnected version of the proposal.
Include the agent in your catering service or charge for a separate menu-planning session. Connect the agreed request to your team, event software, a tasting appointment, or a configured deposit. A proposed menu is not a confirmed kitchen commitment or reserved event date.

What you get
AI catering planning that keeps up with client changes.
Your AI catering agent works from your menu and pricing rules. Clients explain a change by text or voice and see its effect on dishes, portions, service, and the estimate. The same event stays in context while they settle the details.
Include the agent in your catering service or sell a separate menu-planning session. Connect the agreed request to your event workflow, a tasting appointment, or a configured deposit.
Build and price the menu
Use your dishes, approved alternatives, portion rules, and current rates. Update servings and configured fees when the guest count changes. Show what changed and which assumptions remain open.
Turn planning into an order
Let the client send the selected version to your catering team or connected event system. Offer a tasting or deposit when configured. You can also sell the agent’s menu-planning work as a separate digital service.

Why it's the best fit
AI catering planning vs. forms, apps & chat widgets
A menu or proposal records a version of the order. Your AI agent helps clients resolve a change and shows the effect on the whole event.
Keep the event software you already use. Configure the agent to handle a specific client conversation and deliver an agreed request into that workflow, with the current menu and commercial details attached.
 Your AI catering agentOne specialist. The whole client experience. | The extra workWith traditional tools Websites, fixed-flow apps, and chat widgets. |
|---|---|
| 01The menu-planning experience | |
| Deliver a menu and estimate on the first visit Clients clarify what their event needs and see a menu with portions and a preliminary estimate during the same session. | With traditional toolsA brochure website A menu page and inquiry form capture a selection. Your team still needs to clarify portions, substitutions, and what the client’s budget covers. |
| Change the menu through conversation The agent asks about the change, applies your menu rules, and revises related quantities and fees together. | With traditional toolsA fixed-flow app Fixed controls can recalculate supported choices. An unclear dietary request or a different service style needs another conversation or a tailored workflow. |
| Give every event its own visual menu The current menu, event details, and price breakdown form the response. A connected handoff carries that selected version to your team. | With traditional toolsA standalone chat widget A chat widget can answer menu questions. The selected dishes, quantities, and formal proposal need a shared data connection to stay consistent. |
| 02Everything that comes with your agent | |
| Keep the same event in context Remember the menu, guest preferences, and decisions in the planning session. Clients can return to the same event and continue. | With traditional toolsReassemble the request A simple menu page needs saved state and a separate workflow to keep changes across emails, forms, and calls together. |
| Let clients talk through their event Plan by text or voice. Connect a phone channel when you also want clients to call your catering specialist. | With traditional toolsAdd a separate voice service A text form cannot hold that conversation. Voice and phone access need additional tools and context sharing. |
| Make changes understandable Explain what a different headcount, course, or service style changes. Use the menu and calculation rules you supply. | With traditional toolsRead a revised total without the reason A basic calculator can recalculate fixed choices. Open-ended requests and explanations need extra logic or a person. |
| Turn a menu into a paid next step Offer paid AI menu planning, a tasting appointment, or a catering deposit through the payment and scheduling tools you connect. | With traditional toolsConnect disconnected steps Separate quote, checkout, and calendar links need a way to carry the selected menu and event details between them. |
| Help clients outside service hours Keep menu planning available while your team is cooking or serving. Configure reminders and follow-ups through your chosen channels. | With traditional toolsWait for the next reply An inquiry form stores the request. Your team or another system still has to discuss the menu and follow up. |
| Make the experience your own Shape the questions, menu presentation, language, and service rules around your business. Update the underlying dishes and prices as your offer changes. | With traditional toolsEdit several separate pieces A menu page, form, calculator, and chatbot have separate content and behavior to maintain unless you connect them. |
| Learn what clients are asking for Use planning conversations to understand recurring preferences and budget questions. Review proposed improvements before changing your offer. | With traditional toolsInfer needs from page views Traffic reports cannot explain why a client changed the menu. You need the conversation and request details alongside them. |
Some traditional tools offer individual capabilities. Agentplace brings them into one AI service. Connect the payments, calendar, phone, CRM, and follow-up channels you want to use.
How it works
How to create your AI catering agent
Choose one menu and the changes your coordinators handle repeatedly. You decide which menus to offer and what happens after the first estimate.
- 01
Add menus and worked calculations
Provide dishes, verified ingredient notes, approved alternatives, portion sizes, and price rules. Include examples for mixed main-course choices, minimum orders, delivery, staffing, and rentals. Explain the changes clients may make and which details your kitchen needs to confirm.
- 02
Test changes against your event rules
Try a higher headcount, a reduced budget, and an unclear dietary request. Check the quantities and total against your own calculations. Choose how the client reviews a revised version and how it reaches your existing proposal system. Configure payments or scheduling only for the continuation you want.
- 03
Share a link for the current event
Publish the agent and send its URL with the client’s proposal or follow-up message. Use a session tied to the right client and event so they can return without repeating the brief. Keep kitchen capacity, date reservations, and supplier commitments separate until a connected system confirms them.

A few things to know
AI catering agent FAQ
What is an AI agent for catering menu planning?
It is a customer-facing AI agent that helps your clients agree a menu and preliminary estimate through its own page and URL. It uses your dishes, portion rules, and rates to clarify requests and update the menu as details change. Agentplace lets you configure the service and connect its agreed output to your catering workflow.
Can clients use it to revise an existing proposal?
Yes. Start from the event brief, menu, and commercial rules for that client. The agent can clarify a higher headcount, a substitution, or a budget change, then update the quantities and estimate together. Configure how the client selects a version and how it reaches your team or connected event system.
Does this replace our catering software?
It does not need to. Your existing tools may already manage proposals, contracts, and event orders. Use the agent for a client conversation you still handle manually, then connect or export the selected menu into those tools. Compatibility depends on the supported connector or API and the permissions you configure.
How does the agent know our portions and prices?
You provide dishes, serving rules, rates, minimum orders, and fees. Configure a reliable calculation tool and test changes against worked examples. The agent should explain assumptions and excluded charges. It should ask for missing quantities or service details instead of inventing an exact final price.
Can the agent confirm allergy safety or event availability?
Only the information and confirmation rules you actually provide can support those statements. The agent should use verified ingredient notes, clarify dietary needs, and preserve questions your kitchen must resolve. Reserving an event date requires current availability and confirmation from the connected system. A menu suggestion is not that confirmation.
Can we collect a deposit or charge for planning?
Yes, through a payment provider and workflow you configure. You can include menu planning in your catering offer or charge for the AI specialist’s planning work. Define a separate deposit and order-confirmation process when needed. Test payment outcomes so the client knows whether they bought planning, paid a deposit, or have an accepted event order.
Is this preview a working ordering system?
No. It is a static illustration with fictional event details and prices. It shows the full-page menu, quantities, and estimate as an agent response, with the conversation input at the bottom. Create my catering agent opens an editable setup brief so you can connect your own menu, test calculations, and publish the service.
What platform does the AI Catering Menu Planner run on?
It runs on Agentplace. Agentplace is an AI agent platform where the agent gets its own page, talks to your visitors there, and carries the request through to the end instead of handing it to a form. You can open this template and change any step before you publish it.
