Pro is not four more calculators

You see the cost and the margin. Your client sees the price.

Know what to charge.

Cost & Margin adds up the whole job: your food cost by the pound, the head or the piece, your crew by role with each role's setup and breakdown hours, the bar, rentals and overhead you enter, at the margin you set.

A quote with your name on it.

The client gets your business name, your terms and the price in the lines that make it, with service charge, tax and a deposit if you take them. Never your costs, never your margin. The kitchen gets its own sheet.

Your portions, not ours.

Every recommended figure is a starting point. Change it once and every event you price after that uses yours.

The client quote's price section: food and beverage, staff, rentals, service charge, tax and the total

Before you buy

Do I need an account?

The free calculator never does. Pro needs a free Catering Calc account (email and password, Google or Apple). The account holds your purchase and your saved events, so they follow you to any device you sign in on, and to the apps.

How does the free week work?

The annual plan starts with 7 days free on your first subscription. A card is taken at checkout and nothing is charged until day 8. Cancel before day 7 from your Account page and you pay nothing. The monthly plan has no trial.

How do I cancel?

A plan bought here is billed through Stripe: sign in, open your Account page and choose Manage or cancel subscription. A plan bought in the iOS or Android app is billed by Apple or Google, so cancel from that store's subscription settings.

Can I get a refund?

For a web purchase, write to support@cateringcalc.com and we'll sort it out directly. For an app purchase, refunds go through Apple or Google, since they took the payment.

Does Pro from the website work in the apps?

Yes. One account, one subscription. Sign in on the phone with the same account and Pro is there, with every saved event.

More in the FAQ. Manage or cancel a web purchase from your Account page; an app purchase from your App Store or Play Store settings.
