Menu packages you build once and reuse
Set your seasonal menus, price them per guest or per package, define the choices a guest can make, and reuse the whole package across every event that season.
Catering
Catering that lands in the kitchen ready to cook
Build and reuse your venue's menu packages, collect guest meal choices and dietary requirements, and bring everything together for the kitchen or external caterer. Information flows from guests into the event, helping your team prepare with greater confidence.
Meal choices and dietaries
Hostology helps venues manage menus, meal choices, dietaries and allergens within the event. Hosts and guests can provide relevant information through their portals, while the venue keeps oversight of the final catering requirements. Named guest choices and dietary details can be brought together for the kitchen or external caterer.

Common questions
We use an external caterer. Does this still work for us?
Yes. The system captures the guest information the same way. You export or share the finished list with your caterer in whatever format works for them.
Can we handle allergens properly?
Yes. Guests flag allergens themselves, against their named seat, and it flows through to the kitchen list and the table plan.
What if a guest wants something not on the menu?
You choose whether to allow custom requests, and if you do, they land in the venue view for approval before they go to the kitchen.
Do we still control what goes onto the final list?
Yes. Nothing is finalised until the venue locks it. Guests can update up to your lock date, and after that any change flags for approval.
