Catering Inquiry Website

This package builds a catering website that shows your menus and per-person packages, then collects the event date, guest count, venue and dietary needs in one structured request. It suits caterers who get one-line emails asking whether they do weddings and then spend days pulling out the details needed for a quote.

Answer the questions before they are asked

Sample menus and per-person packages sit on the site from Starter, with a gallery of past events, so a planner sees your style and rough cost before writing. Business adds a page each for weddings, corporate lunches and private parties, because each audience asks different things: a couple wants tastings and service staff, an office manager wants delivery times and invoices.

The inquiry form, field by field

• Event type, date, start time and venue address, or a note that the venue is still undecided.
• Guest count, with a separate number for children if you price them differently.
• Service style: drop-off, buffet, family style or plated with staff.
• On Business, a dietary section with counts for vegetarian, vegan, halal and allergy guests.

Days you are fully booked can be blocked on Business, so the form tells a couple straight away rather than after a wait for your reply.

Premium: estimates and deposits

On Premium the client builds a menu from your set dishes and sees a running per-person and total estimate as they choose, which you confirm as a formal quote. A deposit by Stripe or PayPal secures the date once you agree. Offices get a repeat-order form for weekly lunches, and menus download as PDFs for planners to share. Final prices, staffing and venue fees stay under your control; the estimate is a guide, not a contract.
