Sound familiar?
Details trickle in over days
Date, headcount, dietary needs, budget — extracted one phone call at a time.
Generic forms go to a void
A form-builder submission isn’t connected to a customer, a follow-up, or a payment.
Verbal holds fall through
You block the date on a promise; the deposit that makes it real comes weeks later, if ever.
Blinko handles it in three steps
One link for every inquiry
The catering form asks your questions up front — date, headcount, the works.
The inquiry becomes a customer
Submissions land on a customer record with the full conversation attached.
Quote, deposit, booked
Reply with a quote and a payment request; the deposit locks the date. 0% platform fee.
