Quote the job. Send the proposal. Attach your payment link. Capture receipts. Approve actuals. Know whether the job made money.
Quoting, proposing, and invoicing are three separate jobs right now. Most operators wing all three — and leave money behind on every single one.
Most caterers price a job from memory — last event, rough headcount, feel for the protein. Yield loss never enters the equation. The quote looks right. The margin is already wrong before you confirm the date.
Clients who get a text estimate instead of a professional proposal push back on price, slow down decisions, and ghost. A branded, itemized proposal wins the job faster — and sets the expectation that this is a real business.
When the quote and invoice come from different places — memory, a text thread, a rough spreadsheet — the numbers don't match. Clients notice. Disputes happen. Cash gets held. And you still don't know if the job made money.
Quote, proposal, invoice, operator-owned payment link, receipts, approved actuals, margin review, and export all stay tied to the same job record.
Enter headcount, menu mix, yield loss, labor, mileage, and supplies. MarginCommand keeps the pricing logic visible before the operator sends anything to the customer.
Generate proposal and invoice PDFs from the same approved quote data. No rekeying, no duplicate math, no gap between what was proposed and what was billed.
Attach the operator's own payment link, track status manually during beta, capture receipts, and approve costs before they become financial Ground Truth.
MarginCommand's Yield-Loss Engine applies protein-specific cooking coefficients automatically. You enter what you plan to serve. The system calculates what you need to buy — before the invoice goes out.
Build a catering or service-job estimate from headcount, menu mix, yield loss, labor, mileage, and supplies. The quote is the source record for the rest of the workflow.
Generate customer-ready proposal and invoice PDFs from the same approved quote data, then attach a Stripe, Square, QuickBooks, or other business-owned payment link.
Capture receipts, let Gemini help review details and flag possible issues, then require operator approval before anything updates actual costs.

Gemini helps review receipt details and flag possible issues. AI output is advisory until the operator reviews and approves it.
Log approved actual costs only after review, then compare them against the quote without treating AI suggestions as financial Ground Truth.
See where the job made or lost money by comparing quoted margin against approved actual costs in the operator's job file.

Planned path for Cloud Run hosting, Cloud Storage receipt handling, audit logs, cost-to-serve visibility, and margin analytics as the beta matures.
During beta, MarginCommand supports invoice-to-payment tracking through operator-owned payment links. MarginCommand does not process payments, route funds, hold funds, act as merchant of record, or use Stripe Connect.
