Catering: the driver and the kitchen read the same order

The setup

Planner Ivy fans events@ out to herself, the head cook and two drivers. Everyone reads the same order from their own inbox.

How the mail flows

  1. A client raises the headcount from 80 to 100 on Thursday.
  2. Kitchen, drivers and planner all hold the identical amendment within minutes.
  3. Shopping and van space adjust before Friday prep.
  4. events@ keeps the per-event thread: quote, amendments, final numbers.

Why Sinka fits here

  • Amendments stop dying in one person's laptop.
  • Drivers navigate to the right gate because they saw the venue notes themselves.
  • Seasonal drivers get copies for the summer, revoked in September.

Watch out for

  • One event, one thread: insist clients keep amendments in the same email chain.
  • Dietary requirements must be confirmed back explicitly — a copy received is not a copy understood.
