Catering orders that come to you, not through a marketplace.
A catering page people can find, an inquiry form that reaches you, and reminders to the guests who have ordered for a group before. Run by a Gigabit team, for one flat monthly fee, with no commission on what you book.
Catering marketing is making it easy to find you, ask you and come back to you.
One person is ordering lunch for an office or food for a party. They search, they want to see a menu and a rough price, and they want a quick answer. If your catering is one line on the menu page, they go somewhere else. If it happens every quarter, that person is worth keeping, so the job does not end with the first order.
The catering work we run for you
Each piece is ordinary. The value is having all of it done and kept current.
A catering page of its own
Sample menus, minimums or price ranges, how far you deliver, lead times and photos of real events, on your own site. Not a line at the bottom of the menu.
An inquiry form that gets answered
Date, headcount, budget and contact details, sent to an inbox someone reads, and tested before launch. You reply; we make sure the inquiry reaches you.
Found in catering searches
A page title that says what and where, structured data, and the local search work that puts the page in front of nearby people searching for catering.
Google set up to match
Your Google Business Profile carries the right categories, your website link and your photos, so someone who finds you there can reach the catering page.
Reminders to people who have ordered before
Email and text before office parties and graduations, to guests who have ordered for a group and agreed to hear from you. Part of Full Service.
Inquiries in the monthly report
How many catering inquiries came in, and how fast they were answered, next to your other numbers.
Marketplaces are growing. That is a reason to have your own page too.

Most restaurants that cater do well to use both: a marketplace for first orders, your own page and list for the next one.

Catering marketing questions
What does catering marketing cost?
A flat monthly fee, with no commission on what you book. The catering page, inquiry form and local search work come with our Growth plan at $599 a month. Reminder campaigns to past group orders need Full Service at $999 a month. Start with the free audit and we will tell you which fits.
Do you answer inquiries or take the catering orders?
No. Your team replies and takes the order, because you know what you can make for 80 people on a Thursday. We make sure the inquiry reaches you, and we report how fast it was answered.
Do you cold-call offices or send cold emails?
No. We focus on people already searching for catering and people who have already ordered from you and agreed to hear from you. If you want office outreach, your own staff visiting nearby offices with a menu is usually the better first step.
Should we stay on catering marketplaces?
Keep them if they bring you orders you wouldn't otherwise get. A marketplace can reach people who have never heard of you. Your own page matters because it gives repeat customers a direct way to come back to you.
We don't really do catering yet. Should we start with this?
Probably not. Work out your menu, minimums, packaging and how you'll deliver first. Marketing a service you can't yet deliver smoothly costs more than it brings. Once you have those, a catering page is a good next step.
Can you work with the catering software we already use?
Usually, if it offers a link or an embed. We build the page around it rather than asking you to switch. The free audit tells you if anything you use gets in the way.
Find out what someone looking for catering sees
We check your catering page, your Google profile and your inquiry form the way a person ordering for 30 would, and email you the first three things we would fix. Free, nothing to sign.
