Built for your trade
For caterers & private chefs: quotes that don’t need a phone call.
Catering quotes depend on numbers, menu and logistics, and most enquiries are missing all three. We build enquiry flows that gather them and give an honest per-head range, so you talk only to real jobs.
The first problem
Enquiries lack the basics
Event type, guests, date, dietary needs, service style — asked kindly and up front, so your first reply is a real quote.
The second
Menus are PDFs
Sample menus by occasion, with per-head guide prices, that you can update without a designer.
The third
Deposits and balances chase you
Deposit on confirmation, balance reminders before the event, card payment throughout.
What we’d build
A website that takes bookings or enquiries, from about £5,400
Fixed price agreed after one conversation. A care plan afterwards is about £69 a month — hosting, fixes, updates — and you can stop it whenever you like. You own everything: domain, code, content.
- Structured event enquiry
- Menus by occasion with guide prices
- Deposit and balance invoicing
- Dietary capture
- Gallery by event type
Straight answers
Can clients confirm final numbers online?
Yes — a client account where they update numbers and dietary needs by your cut-off date.
We do weekly office lunches — recurring orders?
Standing orders with weekly menus and invoicing.
Being found
How caterers & private chefs get found online
Most caterers & private chefs win work from three places: Google’s local results, word of mouth that gets checked online, and the handful of people who search for exactly what you do. A booking system built for your trade covers all three — a Google Business Profile that’s complete and reviewed, service pages written in the words your customers use, and a site fast enough that people don’t give up on their phone.
We build the technical side of search into every caterers & private chef website as standard: proper page titles and descriptions, structured data Google can read, an image on every share, and location pages that are useful rather than spam. The free site check on this site shows you where an existing site stands in twenty seconds.
Your situation, in three taps
What would we actually build for you?
