01 — The problem
Your last event billed €12,000. How much did you actually keep?
If you don't know your real margin, you're pricing the next event on instinct. And when you guess, you either undercharge or lose the client.

02 — Try it here
Move one number. Watch the margin.
This is how an event behaves inside SKANDA: change the headcount, the price or the staffing and the margin recalculates instantly. No reloading, no formulas.

03 — What SKANDA does
Everything you need to protect your margin.
Recipe costing
The cost of every dish, to the cent
Recipes with exact quantities and trim and cooking loss. When a price changes, the cost updates itself.
Recipe costing software with yield loss →
Events
Every event, fully under control
Menu, headcount and the real cost of staff and logistics. Budgeted cost against actual, with the exact overrun.
Built-in AI
Scan invoices instead of typing them
Photograph a supplier invoice: AI extracts line items, quantities and taxes, then recalculates your recipe costs.
AI automation →
Inventory
Know what you hold and what it's worth
Batch-level stock with expiry dates and live valuation. Close the event and it deducts itself.
CRM and client portal
From lead to signed contract
A sales pipeline with email reminders, plus a portal where each client signs and fills in the feedback survey.
Invoicing
Invoices, payments and reports
Sequential numbering, per-line tax and withholding, cash flow and accounting export to Sage or Contasol.
04 — How it works
Three steps and you know your margin.
No consultants, no endless migration. Most clients have their first ten recipes loaded in under an hour.
Load your recipes
Ingredients with supplier prices and yield loss. Or import your spreadsheet in one go.
Build the event
Menu, headcount and staff. The quote and the BEO come out on their own.
Close and compare
Upload the real invoices and SKANDA tells you the exact margin and where the overrun came from.
05 — What it costs
Less than the overrun on a single event.

06 — Who it's for
Built for anyone serving hundreds of covers at once.
Event catering companies
A different menu every week, headcounts that shift three days before the event, casual staff and suppliers who raise prices without warning. No generic ERP understands that operation — SKANDA was born from it.
Every event is different
Multi-service with its own headcount: coffee break, cocktail and dinner on the same day.
Headcount changes at the last minute
Recalculate menu, purchasing and staff without rebuilding the quote.
Margin defended
You know whether to take the event before you sign it, not two months later.
Banquet halls
Weddings and celebrations with fixed menus and tight margins, where ten extra covers change the maths.
What it solves: a price per head you can defend, and a BEO ready without rebuilding it every Saturday.
Venues and estates
Several events on the same weekend, with venue fees, agency commissions and mileage nobody charges back.
What it solves: every cost charged to the event that caused it.
Production kitchens
Batch production with recipes that scale from 20 to 500 portions without recalculating by hand.
What it solves: scalable recipe costing and batch-level traceability.
Contract catering
Daily service to schools, care homes and companies, with a cost per cover you have to justify to the cent.
What it solves: measured cost, not estimated, to renew the contract.
"We found we were losing 12% of our margin on every event. We made the investment back in the first month."
