Catering Service Software
One system to plan the menu, cost every dish, and bill the event.
AlfaDecode runs your catering business on one system, from the kitchen to the invoice. Build your menus, cost every dish from its recipe, take takeaway and delivery orders, and bill each event at your counter. Track ingredient stock, purchase from suppliers, send invoices and reminders on WhatsApp, and keep every client on file. It keeps working offline and syncs when you reconnect.
No card required · Cloud or on-premise · Works offline · GST & VAT ready
Build your catering menus
Create your dishes with modifiers and options, group them into packages, and reuse them across every event. Change a price once and it updates everywhere.
Recipe-based food costing
Cost each dish from its ingredients so you know the true food cost before you quote. Price your menus with a clear margin instead of guessing.
Bill events at the counter
Quick billing for every order, with tax-ready receipts. Take takeaway orders and record delivery orders for large jobs, all from one screen.
Kitchen order tickets
Send orders straight to the kitchen with printed KOTs or a kitchen display, so a big function stays organised and nothing gets missed during prep.

Catering Service software — your questions
Does it work without internet?
Yes. AlfaDecode is offline-first, so billing, menus and orders keep working even when the connection drops at a venue or outdoor event. Everything syncs automatically once you're back online.
Can it handle GST, VAT or sales tax on my invoices?
Yes. It produces tax-ready invoices and reports in your local currency, with GST, VAT or sales tax applied correctly. It's e-invoice ready so your paperwork stays clean at filing time.
Can I keep my data on my own premises, or does it have to be in the cloud?
Either. You can run AlfaDecode in the cloud or on-premise, so your data can stay on your own machine if you prefer. You choose the setup that suits you.
How does it help me price a catering job?
It costs every dish from its recipe and ingredient prices, so you can see the real food cost of a menu and set your price with a margin you're comfortable with.
Can I send invoices and reminders to clients on WhatsApp?
Yes. You can send invoices and payment reminders to clients directly over WhatsApp, and keep each client's order history on file for repeat bookings.
Can I run more than one kitchen or branch?
Yes. AlfaDecode supports multiple kitchens or branches with separate books, and consolidates the figures so you can see the whole business on one dashboard.
