Speed-to-lead automation responds to every catering and event inquiry instantly — qualifying the opportunity, collecting event details, and booking a consultation before the lead moves on.
$2,000–$15,000
average catering booking value — every slow response is a significant loss
The Problem
Catering and private event bookings are some of the highest-value transactions a restaurant can close. But they start with an inquiry — a form fill, an email, a voicemail — that sits untouched while the kitchen runs service. By the time someone follows up, the client has already reached out to three other venues. These are not impulse diners. They are planners with budgets, and they book with whoever responds first and most professionally.
The Solution
Rivasyst builds a speed-to-lead automation for catering and event inquiries that responds within seconds, collects event details like date, guest count, and budget range, and routes the qualified lead to your events manager — all before the prospective client has time to email your competitor.
How It Works
Catering forms, emails to your events address, and voicemail transcriptions are all captured and processed instantly by the automation.
The lead receives an immediate, professional response asking for event specifics — date, guest count, cuisine preferences, and budget range — so your team has everything they need.
Once event details are collected, the lead is packaged and delivered to your events or catering manager with full context — ready for a consultation call.
Leads who do not complete the detail form get 2 to 3 personalized follow-ups over the next week — keeping your restaurant top of mind without being pushy.
