ServiceStack AI for Caterers: The Inquiry-to-Invoice Kit
ServiceStack AI for Caterers: The Inquiry-to-Invoice Kit
The Inquiry-to-Invoice Kit: fill-in AI prompts, checklists and a working spreadsheet for caterers and small catering businesses that handle inquiries, quotes, changes, rentals, event days and invoices themselves.
I built ServiceStack AI after struggling to write useful AI prompts for my wife's catering business across several AI tools. Generic prompts gave generic answers. This kit has prompts written for caterers: fill in the [BRACKETS] with your details, paste into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and get a draft that fits your booking. You review it and send it yourself.
What's inside
-
14 fill-in prompts, one per page, each with when to use it, the prompt, what you get back and a tip. They follow the work from the first inquiry to the final invoice:

- Pre-event emails: 3 polite, ready-to-edit emails (14, 7 and 2 days out).
- Event Quote & Invoice Calculator (.xlsx with working formulas): One workbook for the money side of a booking: build the quote line by line, see your estimated profit, add approved changes after booking, and get the final balance after the deposit. Includes a blank tab, a tab marked EXAMPLE with made-up numbers, a How It Works tab and a printable PDF version.
- A "save your basics once" page, a before-and-after example, and plain-language ground rules.

Please note: AI drafts can contain mistakes, so check every price, date and term before you send anything. This kit isn't legal, tax or accounting advice; follow your own contract and local rules. Food safety and allergens: This kit gives no food-safety rules. Allergen and dietary information must come from your recipes and suppliers. Follow your local health department's rules on handling, holding, labeling and leftovers. Privacy: Don't paste card numbers, bank details or private client information into an AI tool. Names and event details are usually enough.

Who it's for
A good fit if you:
- Run a service business as a consultant, coach, freelancer or small agency owner.
- Already use (or want to use) ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini but keep getting generic output.
- Rewrite the same proposals, follow-ups, onboarding emails and posts from scratch.
- Want written processes (SOPs) for the work you repeat with every client.
Probably not a fit if you:
- Sell physical products or run an e-commerce store. The toolkit is written for service work.
- Want done-for-you software or automations. This is a set of prompts, templates and guides you use yourself.
- Won't spend a few minutes filling in the [BRACKETS] for your business.
The 5 pillars
The Main Guide organizes everything around the 5 stages of running a service business:
- Foundation: get clear on who you serve (niche, ideal client, offers, pricing, brand voice).
- Visibility: get found by ideal clients (content calendar, LinkedIn, newsletter, lead magnet).
- Acquisition: turn prospects into clients (outreach, discovery calls, objections, proposals).
- Delivery: onboard and serve clients well (welcome, intake, kickoff, weekly updates, scope changes).
- Growth: grow without burning out (referrals, testimonials, planning, finances, outsourcing).
Each pillar points you to the matching prompts, templates, swipe files and SOPs.
Quick start
The Main Guide includes a 7-Day Quick Start. About 90 minutes to 2 hours a day:
- Day 1, Foundation: niche statement, ideal client profile, 3-tier offer and pricing.
- Day 2, Lead magnet: plan and draft a simple lead magnet.
- Day 3, Content calendar: plan 30 days of posts, write this week's 7.
- Day 4, Discovery process: customize your call script, objection responses and a proposal.
- Day 5, Outreach: build a 4-email cold sequence and a LinkedIn sequence, and contact your first prospects.
- Day 6, Delivery setup: onboarding workflow, intake form, weekly check-in, welcome email.
- Day 7, Growth and plan: referral and testimonial requests, plus a 90-day plan.
Results depend on your business, your offer and the work you put in. The toolkit doesn't guarantee clients or income.
