Quote per event. Take a deposit. Cook with confidence.
Biryani for the birthday. Trays of samosas for the festival. Cake for the wedding shower. ChalPronto turns the "how much for…" texts into a clean inquiry form.

The way it is now
You already know the friction.
- Every party booking starts with a 30-message texts about date, headcount, allergies.
- Half the time you say a price and the customer ghosts — no deposit, no commitment.
- You forget who asked for the gluten-free option until you are already cooking.
The way it could be
What changes when you list here.
- A custom inquiry form per service: date picker, guest count, dietary, photo upload.
- Send a quote with a deposit link. Customer pays the deposit; the booking is locked.
- Lead-time enforcement: the form rejects last-minute bookings you can't cook for.
Example · Private-event home cook
Instead of texting back and forth all Sunday about a Saturday party, your customers fill in your form, you send a quote, they pay a 30% deposit, and you know exactly what to make.
Your workflow on ChalPronto
Five short steps. Most happen on your phone.
Build your inquiry items
Add an item like "Party catering — choose your menu" or "Holiday tray order". Set the form fields: event date, guest count, allergies, photos. Set lead-time hours and deposit %.
Share your link
Drop the link in your community group, your Instagram bio, your WhatsApp status. The next person asking "do you cater?" gets the form, not a thread.
Receive the inquiry
New booking notification with all the details. You decide a price.
Send the quote
Reply with a price. Customer gets a Stripe payment link for the deposit. Once paid, the booking is on your calendar.
Cook, deliver, get paid
Mark the order ready. Customer pays the balance via cash or Venmo at pickup or delivery. Done.
