Hotel catering management software is the system a hotel uses to sell, plan and run catered events, from the first inquiry to the final invoice. It typically covers banquet event orders (BEOs), function space and meeting room availability, catering menus and package pricing, proposals and contracts, deposits and payments, and group room blocks, with a sync to the property management system (PMS) and point of sale (POS).

Catering tools built for caterers and restaurants handle menus and orders well, but hotels usually need the sales side too: RFP intake, account management and pipeline reporting. That combined system is called sales and catering software. Hotels that mainly need event logistics and floor plans can also compare event management software, and teams that work mostly from inbound RFPs should look at RFP and proposal software.

Every product in Hotel Tech Report's Hotel Sales Software and Event Management Software categories was ranked by its Q3 2026 HT Score (1 July to 30 September 2026). Where a company has products in both categories, we used its higher-scoring product, and only products with an HT Score above zero qualified. The top seven make the list, and the list is refreshed each quarter when new scores are published.

HT Score combines user satisfaction, review volume, review recency and vendor-submitted information. Review counts, recommend rates and support ratings below come from HTR's database as of 28 October 2026.
