Turn catering inquiries into quoted bookings
AI qualifies every catering request and sends a tailored quote — without pulling you off the line.
Catering inquiries are high-value, but they arrive while you're mid-service and easy to lose track of. This workflow lets an AI agent capture the headcount, date, and budget from every inquiry, then send a tailored quote automatically — so no catering opportunity slips through the cracks.
How the AI catering workflow works
Inquiry comes in
A customer describes their event, headcount, and date by form, call, or email.
AI qualifies the request
The agent extracts guest count, date, menu preferences, and budget from the inquiry.
Quote generated
The agent matches the details to your catering menu and pricing to draft a quote.
Quote sent automatically
The tailored quote is emailed to the customer, ready for them to confirm.
Tools in this workflow
Connect these tools in the Agentic Planner to run this workflow end to end.
Gmail
Send, read, search, and manage emails through Gmail
Google Sheets
Integrate an AI agent with Google Sheets to read, write, and sync data — agents log results, look up reference tables, and update task status directly in your spreadsheets.
Twilio
Send SMS and MMS messages, initiate and monitor phone calls, look up phone number metadata, and manage Twilio messaging resources from agent workflows.
Build this workflow
Open this exact workflow in the free Agentic Planner and adapt it to your business — no code required.
Customers are starting to find businesses by asking AI instead of searching. This is a preview of how the agentic workflow you're designing would represent your business when that arrives — and how ready your plan is. We'll keep you posted as it goes live.
Add an agent node to your workflow and give it a role and an objective. This preview builds itself from what you design here.
Add the real prompts your customers ask AI on your flow's input node (or start from a template). Then ask yourself: is the flow you're designing ready to answer them?
- Add an agent — the decision-making core of your workflow
- Give the agent a clear role (e.g. "Emergency plumbing dispatcher")
- Describe what it does in a full sentence — this is what AI reads to recommend you
- Connect at least one tool or output — capabilities are your strongest signal
- Define the customer questions your flow serves — on the input node

Your customers are already asking AI
These are the kinds of prompts people now type into AI assistants instead of a search bar — the demand this workflow is built to capture.
“find a restaurant that caters for 30 people”
“who does catering for corporate lunches near me”
“I need a caterer for a birthday party next month”
“get me quotes for office catering this week”
Make this workflow available to your customers
This workflow only matters if catering inquiries reach you first. Make your services and this catering intake available to AI, so when someone asks their assistant to find a caterer for an event, AI can point them to you and start the quote.
A workflow like this is a resource you own — and it's most valuable when customers can actually use it. AI can already mention businesses from the web, but Fugentic makes your workflow and services available to AI so it can put them to work for a customer, on your terms. Build it with the Agentic Service Connector and get found via the Agent Portal.
Frequently asked questions
What if the event details are incomplete?
The agent follows up automatically to fill in any missing details like headcount or date before sending a quote.
Does it replace my catering manager?
No — it handles the qualifying and quoting so your team only needs to step in for approval and follow-up calls.
