You can already see it. Now everyone else can too.
Everyone making an event happen plays a part in realizing the vision: the caterer, the venue, the client. Panko makes sure they’re all working toward the same one. One record of the event sits behind every view of it, so what one person changes is what everyone else sees.
Private alpha. A handful of teams, onboarded by the founders.
Now everyone else can see it too.
The caterer, the venue, and Ainsley each get their own view of the same record. We’re starting with these three; the coordinator, the DJ, and the photographer are next. Try it: change the guest count.
Every view of the same record. Change the guest count.
From the picture in someone’s head to paid.
The Ainsley–Okafor rehearsal dinner: six stages, one record, and nobody types the guest count twice. Keep scrolling.
Someone already sees it.
Ainsley fills in the form on Marrow & Rye’s site: the date, 120 guests, Hollis Barn. That is the record now. Nobody at the caterer retypes a word of it.
Priced from the menus you already keep.
Three courses from the real menu at the real prices. 120 plates, $9,740. Minutes, not an evening rebuilding last year’s quote.
Signed where they stand.
Your template, their signature, on a phone in a parking lot. The proposal Ainsley read is the contract Ainsley signed. Nothing to print, nothing to scan.
The kitchen’s copy, without the copying.
The signed contract becomes the BEO. Same numbers, same menu, the tree-nut allergy at table six. The pass works from the sheet the client agreed to.
Invoiced on rules you set once. Paid, and it matches the calendar.
The deposit went out the day the contract was signed. The balance went out on the twenty-ninth of May. Payments land on the event and flow into QuickBooks Online. One set of numbers.
One record. One motion.
Six stages, and the guest count was typed once. Here is what stops happening when the record is the thing everyone works from.
- Leads stop dying in a shared inbox.
- Signatures stop taking three follow-up calls.
- The headcount stops being typed five times.
- Deposits get invoiced whether anyone remembers or not.
The rest of the kit
Everything else it takes to realize the vision, on the same record.
Event orders the kitchen can work from
Built from the signed contract, not retyped from it. Order templates open your recurring event types mostly filled in.
One catalog behind every quote
Menus, packages, and add-ons in one place. Raise a price once and every future proposal uses it.
Allergens at the item level
Tag an item once. The tag rides the proposal, the BEO, and the client's view instead of living in one person's memory.
Floor plans on the event
Tables and stations laid out on the actual event. The plan the client approved is the plan the crew sets.
One calendar for the operation
Events, appointments, staff, rooms, and equipment together. You see the double-booking before you confirm the date.
Messages that stay on the event
Threads attach to the booking. When the coordinator is off, the next person opens the event and reads everything.
Every brand, one back office
Several concepts or venues, one operation. Each keeps its own forms, catalog, look, and client view. One login.
QuickBooks Online sync
Invoices and customers flow into the books your accountant already uses. Nobody rekeys deposits at month end.
Permissions per team member
Sales sees the pipeline. The kitchen sees the BEO. You see all of it, across every brand you run.
We’re working with a few of you first.
A handful of catering companies and venues, onboarded by the founders. No signup form, no sales team. The first step is an email.
Panko is built alongside real operations: the deposit rule someone needed on a Tuesday, the BEO field the kitchen kept writing in by hand. Work with us now and yours is one of the operations it gets shaped around.
Two lines is plenty. We reply to every note, even when the answer is “not yet.”
