Nuento as a booking system: your whole mobile catering business in one place

Behind the marketplace many people know us for sits a complete booking system that brings your whole mobile catering business together in one place: orders, payments, communication and calendar. It's built specifically for prepaid events — not street sales or takeaway.

Whether your business is food trucks, hog roasts, mobile bars, pop-up setups, ice cream vans or coffee vans, Nuento lets you focus on the experience while we handle the admin. And you still own the customer and stay in full control.

Every order in one place. The order overview clearly shows your upcoming, completed and cancelled orders — and whether the booking came through your own channels or via Nuento's marketplace. You can plan revenue and resources well ahead and never lose a job in your inbox.

The customer adds notes to the order. When customers book, they can write the practical details and requests directly on the order, so you have everything relevant in one place from the start.

Three clear options on every order:

Block exactly what you want. You can block individual dates, time slots or specific menus, if certain dishes or concepts aren't possible on a given day. That way you only receive enquiries you can actually say yes to.

A clear view of how booked you are. The calendar also gives you a quick picture of your orders and how full you are on any given date.

Only say yes to bookings worth taking. You can set minimum prices to secure an order size that makes sense. The clever part is that the minimum can vary from day to day: lower on quiet weekdays when you'd like to fill the calendar, and higher on the dates you know book up fast.

Close dialogue when it matters. Through the chat you can communicate directly with customers - both those who already have a booking and those who haven't booked yet but have questions. You can clarify details, answer doubts and help the customer over the line, so more enquiries turn into confirmed orders.

You don't have to chase payments. When an order is created or changed, invoicing and payment update automatically, and Nuento handles collection and reminders itself if a customer hasn't paid.

Travel cost calculated automatically. The system works out the distance from your address to the postcode where the event is held and adds travel to the order based on the rate you've set. No manual calculation.

When the standard doesn't fit. You can easily build a tailored quote based on your existing listings with your own unique variants, add-ons and prices. That way you match the customer's exact wishes without building everything from scratch.

Edit any time. You can update your listings whenever you like: new images, text, prices, menu variants or whatever changes. Your profile always stays sharp and current for customers.

Invite others into the business. Where it's useful, you can give other users login access, for example a bookkeeper, a co-owner or a colleague, so you share the overview.

Verified reviews, fully automatic. After an event, the system automatically asks the customer to review the experience. Over time you build up plenty of trustworthy reviews from customers who actually booked and completed. This strengthens your credibility with prospective customers.

Professional communication on autopilot. Automatic notifications by email and SMS keep the customer informed from booking to delivery. That builds reassurance, fewer phone calls and less repeated work for you.

The marketplace isn't the whole product, but a powerful feature on top of the system. New customers who don't know you can find you, see your menu and book directly on the site. That exposes you to customers who would never have found you via your own website.

Free to sign up, no monthly costs, no lock-in. You only pay when the partnership creates value.

Signing up takes just a few minutes, and our AI guides you through the setup so your profile is as sharp as possible from day one. If you want more orders, less hassle and more time for what you do best, get started at nuento.co.uk.
