Websites for caterers
Web design for caterers: £249.99 to build, then £49.99 a month, no minimum term. Enquiries stall on price. A guide figure per head keeps the conversation alive.
Caterers resist publishing prices because every job differs, and customers abandon enquiries because they have no idea whether this is affordable. Both positions are understandable and one of them has to give.
A price guide with clear assumptions does not cost you flexibility. It filters out the people who were never going to book and gives serious enquirers the confidence to start a conversation.
What your customers want answered
- Roughly what does it cost per head
- What is included — staff, equipment, crockery, delivery
- Can you cater for allergies and dietary requirements
- How many can you handle and how far do you travel
- Are you available on my date
Sample menus at named price pointsThree tiers with what each includes lets a customer place themselves immediately. It is the most requested information in the sector and the least commonly published, which makes it a genuine advantage rather than merely good practice.
Treating allergens as an afterthought
Caterers carry real responsibility for allergen information, and clients are increasingly checking how seriously it is taken. A clear statement of how you handle requirements and cross-contamination is reassurance and compliance at once.
Events and menus
List the events you cater, such as weddings, corporate lunches, parties and funerals, with sample menus and service styles. Dietary options should be easy to find.
Hygiene and quotes
Show your food hygiene rating and explain how allergens are labelled and kept separate. Explain how quotes are built from menu, guest numbers, service style and staffing, and what is included, such as crockery, linen and clearing up. Say how far ahead to book and when final numbers are needed, so clients can plan their event with confidence.
Planning menus and service
Explain how you plan with clients: a consultation, menu suggestions, tasting if appropriate, and confirming numbers. Say how far in advance to book and when final numbers are needed.
Describe service options such as drop-off buffets, staffed events and full-service dining, with what each includes: equipment, tableware, staff and clearing. Allergen handling and labelling should be clear.
