What You'll Get

A complete, professional catering proposal ready to email to a prospective client.

The Prompt

Copy and paste this
Write a professional catering proposal for: Event type: [corporate lunch / birthday party / rehearsal dinner / etc]. Guest count: [number]. Date: [date or TBD]. Menu options: [list your menu — e.g., Caesar salad, chicken marsala, pasta, bread, dessert]. Price per person: [$X]. Deposit required: [50%]. Cancellation policy: [72 hours / etc]. My restaurant is called [Name] and we specialize in [cuisine type]. Make it sound professional and welcoming.

Tips

Add "include a second option at $[X]/person with a premium menu" if you want to give clients a choice — tiered proposals often close more bookings. Paste the draft into a Word doc and add your logo before sending.
