Success Story | Colibri Hotel & Restaurant
Transforming Hospitality & Food Operations for Colibri Hotel into One Connected ERP Ecosystem
Running a catering business is more than great food. It’s events, kitchens, suppliers, staff, and invoices — all moving at once. Odoo ERP for catering companies brings everything into one place, so your team spends less time chasing information and more time delivering great experiences.
There’s a Lot More Behind Every Event Than Most People See.
Catering isn’t just cooking. Behind every successful event is a business managing six things simultaneously — and getting all six right is what separates good caterers from great ones.
Plan, schedule, and execute every event with full visibility.
Coordinate kitchen output across multiple concurrent events.
Track stock levels, expiry, and supplier orders in real time.
Assign teams, vehicles, and equipment for every job.
Manage quotes, contracts, menus, and client approvals.
Real-time costs, margins, and reporting per event and client.
When these five areas aren’t connected, things fall through the cracks. That’s exactly the problem Odoo solves.
The bigger your operation grows, the more these six problems compound — until growth becomes a liability instead of an opportunity.
Everything lives in spreadsheets. Menus, costs, rosters, orders — all updated by hand, always slightly out of date, never fully trusted.
Without knowing exactly what each event needs, kitchens over-order and over-produce. That waste adds up faster than most businesses realize.
Track stock levels, expiry, and supplier orders in real time.
Missed deliveries, wrong headcounts, and unprepared staff turn premium events into stressful recovery operations.
Sales quotes in one tool, kitchen schedules in another, accounting somewhere else. Nobody has the full picture.
You finish a big event and still can't tell if you made money on it. The real numbers take days to piece together.
Odoo is a complete catering management software that gives you one platform where every part of your operation talks to the others. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
1. CRM & Quotations Track every lead, build quotes from your menu templates, and send them for e-signature — all in one place. No more lost emails or version confusion.
2. Event Management Every confirmed booking becomes a project with tasks, timelines, and assigned team members. Everyone knows what’s happening and when.
3. Kitchen Production Confirmed events automatically generate kitchen production orders, scaled to the exact guest count. Your team gets what they need without the back-and-forth.
4. Recipe Costing Know the exact food cost of every dish before you quote. Odoo calculates it from real ingredient prices so your margins are never a guess.
5. Inventory & Procurement Purchase orders are triggered automatically based on what your events actually need. No more over-ordering, no more last-minute runs to the cash-and-carry.
6. Staff Scheduling Build rosters linked directly to your event calendar. Assign chefs, servers, and drivers based on what each event needs — and track hours straight through to payroll.
7. Accounting & Reporting Invoices generate automatically when events close. And you get a real P&L per event, per client, and per month — not a spreadsheet estimate.
Gold Partner status is Odoo's highest certification. It means direct access to Odoo's technical team, early product updates, and a proven implementation track record.
We've helped 100+ businesses implement Odoo for catering, manufacturing, retail, and more across 23+ countries.
We don't just know ERP — we understand kitchens, events, and food operations. That means less time explaining your business to us, and faster time to a system that actually fits.
Your workflows are yours. We configure Odoo to match how you operate, not the other way around. And we stick around after go-live.
