Catering

Take catering orders, on your site.

Do more than collect leads. Guests can place and pay for catering orders right on your own site, scheduled for the date they need, with the lead times, minimums and deposits your kitchen needs. Big or custom job? Keep an inquiry form for that too.

What online catering on your site fixes

No way to order onlineGuests have to call to place a catering order.
Orders get lostCatering orders and asks come by DM, text and voicemail.
Nothing on your siteVisitors don’t even know you cater, let alone that they can order it.

Two ways to win catering

From a quick office lunch to a full-blown event.

Some catering is a menu you can price and take online. Some needs a conversation. Town does both, on the same site.

🍱

Order it online

Standard trays, packages and party-size portions guests can order and pay for right on your site, scheduled for the date they need. Set lead times, minimums and cutoffs so the kitchen’s never caught out.

Request a quote

Big, bespoke or unusual events come in through an inquiry form with the details you need, date, headcount, budget, so you can quote it your way and keep the relationship.

Built for real catering

Everything the kitchen needs to say yes.

Catering only works if the rules match how you actually cook. Town gives you the controls so a big order is a good day, not a scramble.

⏱️

Lead times & cutoffs

Require orders a set time ahead, and stop them when your prep window closes.

📦

Order minimums

Set minimum sizes or spend so catering is worth firing up for.

💳

Deposits or prepay

Collect a deposit or full payment up front, on your own processor.

🍱

Packages & headcount pricing

Build trays, bundles and per-person pricing that scale with the party.

🚚

Pickup or delivery

Offer catering pickup, or delivery on your own terms and radius.

🧾

Receipts & tax handled
