About us
"How much did Saturday's wedding leave you?"
That question always ended the same way: in an awkward silence.
What we found
Behind every event there's a number nobody looks at.
It's called real margin. And it disappears into yield loss, overtime and last-minute purchases.
01 — The problem
A full kitchen, an empty bank account
An ordinary Saturday: 150 guests, the kitchen at full tilt, the service flawless. The invoice comes to €12,000 and everyone raises a glass. But weeks later, at month end, the numbers don't add up.
Between what the event cost on paper and what was actually spent — yield loss, overtime, last-minute purchases — a slice of the profit vanished. Without anyone seeing it. We call that the invisible margin, and it repeats event after event.

The same old spreadsheet: it tells you what you billed, not what you earned.
The tool catering needed didn't exist. So we decided to build it.
02 — The road here
From an uncomfortable question to a real product.
01 · The problem
A question with no answer
We know caterers first-hand who bill well and still don't know what they earn on each event.
02 · The search
No tool solved it
Spreadsheets with no margin formulas and ERPs designed for factories. None understood that a caterer lives off events.
03 · The decision
So we built it ourselves
Recipe costing with real yield loss, cost per event, batch-level inventory and the margin always in view.
04 · Today
Real events, visible margin
Caterers in Spain already run their events on SKANDA, and in 2026 we were finalists for the Santander X Award.
03 — How we work
Three things we don't compromise on.
Transparency
Numbers don't lie. We show you the data as it is, without flattering margins or hiding variances.
Specialisation
We're not a generic ERP. Every feature solves a real catering problem, not a factory one.
Simplicity
If you need a 200-page manual, something's wrong. SKANDA works from the first event, with no training needed.
04 — The team
Two people, and a phone that always answers.
When you write to support, one of the two of us replies. There's no layer in between, no bots and no tickets that get lost.

That no caterer loses margin simply for not seeing it.
That's the mission. If it sounds like your problem, let's talk.
