Composer FAQs

The questions operators ask

What is catering order management software?

Slerp Composer is one part of the platform. It turns your catering and pre-orders into what your kitchen, bakery and logistics teams need every day: production summaries, packing slips, labels and delivery exports. Slerp Composer generates them automatically from your orders, so nobody builds them by hand in a spreadsheet.

Which orders can Composer bring in?

Every Slerp pre-order, imported in a click. If wholesalers email their order in with a PDF, key it in and attach the PDF, or give them a login so they can add their order themselves. Got a custom event to prepare for? Add that order straight to the dashboard. Every order goes in with your notes, comments and PDFs attached.

What does the production summary show?

A daily breakdown of every product, modifier and add-on across your orders that updates in real time, so the team knows exactly what has to be made. It becomes really useful as you scale.

Does Composer make packing slips and labels?

Yes. An A4 packing slip for every order so the team packs things correctly, plus labels (stickers) and delivery summaries, all generated from the same orders.

Can Composer plan deliveries?

Yes. If it’s a Slerp pre-order and you use Dispatch, orders can be assigned automatically to our integrated courier partners. If you deliver yourself or use a 3PL, Composer generates delivery exports from the same orders, for your own driver management software like Onfleet, or the printed labels your 3PL partner needs (Royal Mail, DPD and others).

Can orders still go to my POS?

It’s up to you. Some operators send their pre-orders straight to their POS and use the docket on the day. Others keep them separate from the POS and use Composer’s outputs, especially when catering is prepared somewhere other than a store. We can talk through your set-up and see what suits you best.

Who is Composer for?

Restaurants, bakeries and caterers that take orders ahead: catering, pre-orders and wholesale. Anyone whose team spends hours a week on production planning admin.

What does it cost?

Composer is included in every plan. We charge a monthly fee per location, with different plans depending on what you need. Talk to our team and we can guide you on what we think you need.
