Honest comparison

CaterFlow AI vs Function Tracker

Function Tracker is an Australian event management system for venues and caterers: bookings, run sheets, staff allocation and invoicing in one calendar-driven database. It is a good record-keeping system, and it is local. CaterFlow AI is not a database — it is automation that does the quoting, chasing, reporting and compliance work so nobody has to sit in a system entering it.

CaterFlow AI

Built for small catering businesses that want the admin done, not another tool to log into.

When Function Tracker is the better choice

We would rather you buy the right thing than buy from us. Here is where Function Tracker genuinely wins.

You need a central bookings diary
If several staff need one shared calendar of functions, rooms and run sheets, that is a system of record — buy one.
Budget is tight
At around A$99 a month it costs a fraction of our package, and for a small operation that gap is real money.
Your team wants to enter data themselves
Some businesses genuinely prefer hands-on control over each booking record rather than automation acting on their behalf.

Still think CaterFlow AI is the better fit?

Every automation, the build and ongoing support are on one flat monthly price, GST included, with no lock-in. See exactly what each plan covers before you talk to anyone.
