Branded inquiry form
Caterease's own inquiry form styled to your site, with the fields your sales team needs to book.
The Problem
Your Web Orders Get Typed Twice
Caterease holds your events, menus, and kitchen prints, but your website sends inquiries by email. Every order gets typed again, and each retype risks a wrong count.
Your team keys every web request into Caterease by hand.
A typo turns 115 guests into 150 on the prep sheet.
Weekly office orders get rebuilt from scratch every time.
Tuesday, 7 a.m. The overnight inbox holds 14 catering requests from your website, from boxed lunches to a 300-guest gala. Your sales assistant keys each one into Caterease, menu item by menu item. One gets 150 guests instead of 115, and the prep sheet follows the typo. The office that orders every Thursday emails the same menu again, and someone rebuilds it from scratch. By noon, your team has spent the morning typing instead of selling.
Website requests wait in Caterease for review, then become events without retyping.
The client's own entry becomes the event after review, with no retyping.
Corporate clients request repeat orders from one page with their event portals.
We start with the paths Caterease supports. Its inquiry form goes on your site in your branding, and submissions wait in the Web Inquiry Manager to become events without retyping. Online orders run through Zuppler, which sends them to Caterease for your review. Corporate clients get a page with their event portals and repeat order requests. Your team checks orders instead of keying them.
Inquiries become events
Submissions to the inquiry manager turn into Caterease events without anyone retyping them.
Orders reach Caterease
Zuppler online orders arrive for review and acceptance, from menus you publish.
Clients see their events
Corporate clients open event portals and request repeat menus from one branded page.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built ordering and integration work for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

You book weddings, galas, and corporate lunches in Caterease. Your website still emails inquiries, and a coordinator retypes each one.
You run catering for departments across a campus or hospital, and every request arrives by email instead of reaching Caterease.
You want drop-off lunches and boxed meals ordered online, and Caterease online ordering through Zuppler fits your menus.
Your office clients reorder the same menus every week and want to see past events and approve changes without calling.
You build sites for caterers and need a Caterease API developer who knows which connections Caterease supports.
You book venue events in Tripleseat, not Caterease. Tripleseat Website Integration Services connects your forms and room calendars to it.
Your business runs on HoneyBook proposals and smart files. HoneyBook Website Integration Services is the better fit for that setup.
Your budget is under $650, or a simple contact form handles your volume. A good form plugin on your current site costs less.
You need a new catering website first. Catering Website Design Services builds the menus, tasting booking, and proposal pages.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timelines, inquiry forms, online ordering, client portals, and Caterease access.
Caterease integrations start at $650 for the branded request form on your site, with tracking and a walkthrough. Online ordering through Zuppler starts at $1,700, and corporate client portals with approvals start at $3,700. Caterease, Zuppler, and payment fees stay billed to your own accounts.
An inquiry form takes 1 to 2 weeks, including field approval with the Caterease team. Zuppler ordering adds 2 to 3 weeks, and corporate client portals take 6 to 8 weeks in total. Menu setup and test orders take most of that time, not the coding.
They use the paths Caterease documents: the optional Web Inquiry tool for event requests and Zuppler for online orders. Both deliver into Caterease, where your team reviews each one before it becomes an event. Searches for a Caterease web connect usually mean one of these two.
Web Inquiry forms carry event details such as date, guest count, and service style, and Zuppler orders carry menu picks. Both arrive in Caterease for review instead of posting straight to a BEO. Once your coordinator accepts them, the event prints and BEOs draw from that record.
It removes the retyping step at the front door. When a website inquiry or online order becomes a Caterease event, your kitchen prints and staffing come from that event. Caterease also lists staffing integrations, such as Nowsta, so shift planning can start from booked events.
A branded client page can gather each account's Caterease event portals, which show live event details. Clients approve menu changes through Sign & Send and pay from Mosaic payment links. A full past-order history needs a data export we confirm with Caterease first, so we scope it after the review.
Yes, through Zuppler, the ordering platform that connects to Caterease. You choose which menus to publish, and each order reaches Caterease for your team to review and accept. We place the ordering menu on your pages and test service charges, gratuities, and payments before launch.
Usually not, because the useful connections run through tools Caterease already supports. Caterease doesn't publish an open API on its own site, so we avoid unofficial connectors that read your data. If your license includes other access, we confirm it with Caterease before we quote.
Usually yes, because the web form and online ordering deliver into Caterease rather than your website's database. Caterease sells a desktop edition and the hosted Caterease Connect, so we confirm your edition and add-ons during the free review. Newer releases also added Web Inquiry exports for reporting.
Your accounts hold all of it: Caterease, Zuppler, payments, and your website. We leave notes on every form field, menu, and client page so your team can update them later. Support covers the first 30, 45, or 60 days, depending on the plan you choose.
