Turn an enquiry into a costed BEO, guest menus and an allergen matrix, then find suitable replacement dishes for every dietary guest from your own verified recipes, ready for chef review and sign-off.
The Event Planner takes an event from enquiry to a costed BEO, guest menus and an allergen matrix. Add the guest count, date, menu and dietary requirements once. Havenue checks every dish against verified ingredients, finds suitable replacement dishes for each dietary guest from your own recipes, and keeps cost per head and GP% visible. Your chef reviews the choices and signs off before service.
The problem this solves
Dietary planning is the part of an event most teams dread: cross-referencing guest needs against the menu by hand, building per-guest plates, and double-checking everything before the kitchen sees it. Havenue does the cross-checking and lets the chef focus on the cooking.
How it works
Set the brief: Head-count, date, menus, and guest dietary needs in one screen.
Validate before you run: Pre-checks flag missing portion standards, unresolved rules, or dietary counts that don't match the guest-count.
Run the planner: Havenue applies the standard 14 allergens (and much more) and your dietary list, including compound dietaries like Gluten Free & Vegan.
Review and export: Chef Review Notes explain every choice in simple language. Generate the BEO (Banqueting Event Order) and per-guest menus, and export to PDF or DOCX.
What you get
Every dish checked before service: Each dish is checked against each guest's requirements, with the ingredient behind every flag, so your chef signs off knowing what is on every plate.
Compound dietaries handled: Vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, halal, kosher, and intolerances; combined exactly once and counted accurately.
Chef Review Notes: Simple explanation of what was checked, what was chosen, and what still needs attention.
Connected to the catering pack: The BEO, Guest Menus and Allergen Matrix all generate from the same event, export as PDF or DOCX, and keep a full version history.
