The task
Turn a catering enquiry quotation fast-draft into an automated workflow. It starts when the catering enquiry details arrives. It must end with a quotation draft with per-pax pricing options. Available systems: POS, delivery platforms (GrabFood, foodpanda, ShopeeFood), supplier WhatsApp, Excel/Google Sheets. Map out: trigger, fields to capture, AI step, decision rules, where a human approves, what happens on failure, data to store. Also quote turnaround time tracking. Keep the whole thing maintainable by a small team.
Replace “the catering enquiry details” and the listed systems with what you actually run.
New here? How the four prompts work together
They are one sequence, not four options. Run them in order on the same piece of work, feeding each answer into the next.
Create
Paste your real data. You get a first draft. Most people never need to go further than this.
Analyse
Paste that draft back in. It tells you what is weak, missing or wrong before a customer sees it.
Optimise
Paste the draft again with what Analyse found. You get a stronger version.
Automate
Only once the output has been good five times running. This is the one people reach for too early.
Nothing forces you through all four. A good Create draft that you edit yourself is a finished job. The longer version.

Data & privacy
If you paste customer or staff details into an AI tool, your business stays responsible for them under the PDPA. Replace names and numbers with initials or references first.

For this website, it works differently.
