Puree is a purpose-built operations platform for catering businesses, built in New Zealand by former caterers. It connects the entire order lifecycle -- customer enquiry, professional quotes with online acceptance, Stripe deposit and card payments, event briefs, kitchen dockets, and mobile-friendly driver run sheets -- into a single system, removing the need to re-enter the same job details across spreadsheets, email, and separate tools. Beyond quoting and fulfillment, Puree includes venue booking calendars with double-booking prevention, an ingredient library and recipe costing with live margin tracking, customizable online ordering forms and menus, and sales/performance reporting. It integrates with Xero, QuickBooks, Google Calendar, Stripe, and Deputy. The company serves catering companies of varying sizes across the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, and publishes several customer case studies (e.g. Foodlab, NOSH) describing operational improvements after switching to Puree.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Covers the full catering workflow -- quoting, kitchen dockets, and driver run sheets -- in one connected system instead of disparate tools
Built by former caterers, so features like recipe costing, packing lists, and venue double-booking prevention map closely to real catering operations
Integrates with common back-office tools (Xero, QuickBooks, Stripe, Google Calendar, Deputy) rather than requiring a full workflow migration
Offers a free 30-day trial and a free application-based tier for brand-new caterers, lowering the barrier to try it before committing
Cons
Paid plans start at $650/month for a single user, which is a significant jump for very small or budget-conscious caterers
Quote volume is capped by plan (10/month on Lite, 25/month on Essentials, 250/month on Professional), so busier operations need to budget for higher tiers
The free Freemium tier is by application only, not self-serve, adding friction for caterers who just want to try the core paid features immediately
Pricing is quote-based ("Enquire today") rather than instant self-serve checkout on the paid tiers, so buyers must go through a sales conversation
