Menus by service style
Buffet, plated, family-style, and drop-off menus on their own pages, each with courses and portions.
The Problem
Great Food Stuck in a Menu PDF
Clients book the caterer who answers first. They want the menu, a price per guest, and a tasting date, and a menu PDF answers none of those well.
01 · Stale menus
Your menu is a PDF from last spring.
Menus live on pages by service style, with dietary tags your kitchen confirms.
02 · Missing prices
Couples email for plated prices and wait two days for an answer.
A guest count estimator shows a range per guest from your own numbers.
03 · Tasting emails
Tasting requests turn into long email threads.
Couples book the tasting slots you open on your calendar.
04 · Monday retyping
Your team spends Monday retyping inquiries into catering software.
Proposals go out from HoneyBook, Caterease, or Total Party Planner for online approval.
An office manager needs lunch for 45 people every Thursday, with 6 vegan and 2 gluten-free orders. Your site offers a menu PDF from last spring and a contact form. On Saturday, a couple planning a wedding for 150 wants plated and family-style prices and a tasting in March. They email, wait two days, and book the caterer whose site showed a price range. Your team spends Monday retyping inquiries into your catering software.
We start with how you actually sell: weekday corporate lunches and weekend events. Menus live on pages by service style, with dietary tags your kitchen confirms. A guest count estimator shows a price range per guest from your own numbers, and tasting requests land on your calendar. Proposals go out from HoneyBook, Caterease, or Total Party Planner, so clients approve online instead of by email chain.
Menus people can filter
Buffet, plated, and family-style menus filtered by gluten-free, vegan, and halal tags.
Estimates before inquiries
Guests see a price range from your own rates before they ask for a quote.
Tastings on the calendar
Couples book the tasting slots you open, instead of waiting on an email reply.
Our Catering Website Process
From Menu Review to Launch Day
You approve the menu structure, the estimator's pricing rules, and the page designs before we build. Nothing launches until your team has placed test orders and booked a test tasting.
We read your menus, price sheets, and recent inquiries, and ask how corporate and wedding sales differ. You get a written scope, a sitemap, and a fixed price, plus a list of menu photos worth shooting.
What's Included
What You Get With Website Design for Caterers
It covers the full sale. You get menu pages, dietary filters, an estimator, tasting booking, proposal links, and a corporate order path, on a site your team can edit.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built mobile-first websites 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.

Work Culture
Why Caterers Trust Us With Their Menus
These habits come from building restaurant and ordering sites: tags your chef signs off, prices you control, and pages that load fast in a busy kitchen.
Your chef confirms every tag
We publish dietary and allergen tags only after your kitchen checks them. Guests with allergies rely on those labels, so accuracy comes before launch dates.
Your prices, your rules
The estimator uses your per-person prices, minimums, and staffing fees, and it shows a range, not a promise. You change the numbers yourself when costs move.
Offices and weddings kept apart
Office managers and couples want different things, so each gets its own path. Nobody wades through wedding tastings to reorder a Thursday lunch.
Menus you can update
Seasonal menus change often, so your team edits dishes, photos, and tags without a developer. We record a short walkthrough for new staff.
Straight answers first
When an ordering platform already does the job, you'll hear that from us before any quote. Selling you a build you don't need helps nobody.
Your site, data, and accounts
Your domain, menus, photos, and client data stay in accounts under your name. If you move on, everything comes with you.

Good fit
Wedding and event caterers
Your tastings fill most weekends, yet couples still email for menus and prices before they'll book one.
Corporate drop-off caterers
You deliver office lunches daily, and each repeat order still arrives by phone or email for someone to retype.
Caterers with dietary menus
Your kitchen cooks gluten-free, vegan, and halal dishes, but guests can't find them without calling to ask.
Restaurants adding catering
Your restaurant added catering, and you need food catering website design that keeps event orders apart from dine-in reservations.
Agencies with hospitality clients
Your agency needs a corporate catering web designer who builds menus, estimators, and order forms you can deliver under your brand.
Not a fit
Pickup and delivery menus
You mainly sell pickup and delivery from a fixed menu. A restaurant ordering platform will cost less than a custom catering build.
Venue tours matter most
You own the venue as well as the kitchen, and tours matter most. Wedding Venue Website Design Services covers space pages and open dates.
Rentals as main business
You rent tables, linens, and tents as your main business. Party & Event Rental Website Design covers item catalogs and quote lists.
One menu page
Your budget is under $1,200, or you need one menu page. Landing Page Design or your catering software's online menu is the cheaper start.

Saimul IslamFounder & CEO, DeveloperLookStill have questions?
Send a message or book a call with the team.
Catering sites start at $1,200 for up to 10 pages, menus with dietary tags, a guest count estimator, and tasting requests. The $2,750 plan adds dietary filters, tasting booking, and proposal links, and corporate ordering paths start at $5,350. You get a fixed quote after a free call.
Most caterer sites launch in 4 to 9 weeks. A single kitchen with one menu set takes about 4 weeks, while corporate ordering and a second location push the build toward 9. Menu tagging needs a few hours of your chef's time, so we schedule it early.
They present each service style as its own menu page, then tag every dish so guests can filter by diet. We add gluten-free, vegan, and halal tags your kitchen confirms, and show which dishes change price by tier, so planners can compare options without calling you first.
Accurate calculators ask for headcount, style of service, and date, then show a price range per guest. A range sets expectations without promising a quote. We build the math from your own prices, minimums, and staffing fees, and the estimate travels with the inquiry to your team.
You integrate them by letting couples book tasting slots from a calendar you control, then sending proposals from your catering software. HoneyBook smart files combine the proposal, contract, e-signature, and payment in one file, and Caterease and Total Party Planner both support e-signed proposals too.
Caterers capture both by giving each buyer a separate path. Office managers get a lunch menu, a repeat-order form, and invoice requests, while couples get tastings and proposals. We track each path separately, so you can see which one fills your weekdays and which fills weekends.
The best ones answer menu, price, and date questions on the page, before anyone has to email you. That means menus grouped by buffet, plated, or family style, dietary tags, a price estimate, and tasting slots, all on pages that load quickly on a phone.
Yes, for both. HoneyBook lead forms embed on your pages, and Caterease takes online orders and inquiries through its own platform, which we link from your menus. We confirm the exact path for your account during the free review, then test it end to end.
No, as long as they're compressed and loaded as guests scroll. We convert your photos to modern formats, size them for each screen, and lazy-load every gallery. Then we test on mid-range phones over cell data before launch, so your dishes still look sharp.
Everything stays yours: the domain, the site, your menu photos, and each inquiry. Accounts are opened in your business name, and logins are handed over on launch day. Post-launch support runs 30 to 60 days by plan, and any later changes are billed by the hour.
