Website Design for Caterers

Websites for event caterers, office lunch suppliers, grazing table businesses and food trucks that set out each menu package with its price per head and minimum numbers, and collect the event details you need to quote before anyone picks up the phone.

What a catering website has to cover

Catering gets bought by two quite different customers. Someone planning a wedding, a 50th or a wake usually contacts a few caterers and wants to know the style of food, roughly what it costs per head and whether you're free on the day. An office manager ordering lunch for a meeting wants a menu, a cut-off time and an easy way to pay. Both decide whether to enquire from what they can see without asking.

  • Menu packages people can compare

    Canapés, grazing tables, buffets, shared platters, plated dinners or a drop-off box lunch: each package gets its own section with sample dishes, the price per head, minimum guest numbers and what's included, such as staff, crockery, linen or set-up. Seasonal menus and new prices are text edits covered by hosting.

  • An enquiry form that starts with the date

    Event date and start time first, then the venue address, guest numbers, service style, whether the venue has a kitchen you can use, and how many guests have dietary needs. A budget range can be optional. Answers arrive in your inbox in the same order every time, so a quote can go out without three rounds of questions.

  • Allergy requests handled with care

    Food served at an event usually has no label, and for food without one the Food Standards Code requires allergen information to be displayed with the food or given on request. The site marks the dietary options you can cater for, asks about guests' needs on the form, and tells anyone with an allergy who to speak to before the event, rather than promising an allergen-free kitchen.

  • Office catering that's easy to reorder

    A set menu, your delivery area, the order cut-off (for example, 2pm the day before), the minimum order and how invoicing works for businesses on account. For repeat customers, an online menu with payment saves retyping orders from emails: we build ordering and payment into the site, quoted per job, or link the ordering platform you already use.

  • Prices that include the compulsory parts

    Australian pricing guidance on business.gov.au says an advertised total must include every compulsory fee, while optional extras such as delivery can be listed separately. So if a service or kitchen fee applies to every event, it belongs in the per-head price or the package total; add-ons the customer chooses, like extra waitstaff hours, hire items or a dessert station, can sit underneath.

  • Events shown the way they happened

    A gallery sorted by event type, such as weddings, corporate functions and private parties, with a caption naming the venue and the menu served. Real platters on real tables tell a planner more than stock photos do. We use the images you send us and size them to load quickly on a phone.

  • Food safety details, if you want them shown

    A caterer that processes unpackaged, potentially hazardous food into ready-to-eat food is a category one business under Food Standards Code Standard 3.2.2A, in force since December 2023, which means a certified food safety supervisor, trained food handlers and records that show key food safety controls are met. None of that has to be on a website, but a line in your words about your certification and council registration is something a venue or office client can check.

Closest examples from our client work

No caterer is among our clients yet, so there's no catering site for us to show. Two sites in our portfolio handle the parts a caterer leans on: Resolve Forward sets out priced packages that lead into online booking, and Bright Building & Renovations uses a seven-step quote form that gathers what's needed to price a job, much as an event enquiry does.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

A Sydney family law dispute resolution practice, not a food business. Its priced packages link straight to online booking, alongside six service pages and a five-step intake form. A caterer's menu packages, each with a price per head and a button to enquire or order, follow the same pattern.

Home page of the Bright Building & Renovations website

Bright Building & Renovations

Trades & construction · Adelaide, Adelaide Hills & Fleurieu

A licensed Adelaide renovation builder. Its seven-step form takes the customer through budget, start date and whether they have plans, one question at a time. Swap those questions for event date, guest numbers, venue and service style, and the same form becomes a catering enquiry.

“He was incredibly hands-on, always available to answer questions, and made every requested change promptly and without hesitation.”

  • Payment. No deposit. We build your draft first, you ask for as many changes as you like, and you pay once you approve it. If you don't go ahead, you owe nothing.
  • GST. WebCraft Studio isn't registered for GST, so no GST is added.
  • Timing. Most sites are live within 5–10 days of us getting your words and photos; bigger sites (up to 8 pages) take 2–3 weeks.
  • Hosting. After launch, hosting is $30 a month: hosting, security monitoring, backups, email support and unlimited text and image changes on your existing pages. New pages or features are quoted first. No contract, cancel anytime.
  • Domain and email. We register your domain in your name (about $20 a year), connect it to your site and set up your business email.

Questions caterers ask us

Should we put per-head prices on the website?

We suggest it. A price per head beside each package, with minimum numbers and what changes the total (service style, staffing, travel), lets a customer work out a rough budget before writing to you. If you'd rather quote every event, a starting price per package still helps people rule you in or out. When a new season brings new prices, email them to us; the change is covered by the $30 monthly hosting.

Can customers pay a deposit or order online?

Yes. We build booking and payment systems into websites, quoted per job: a deposit that locks in an event date, for example, or an office lunch menu ordered and paid for in one go. A set menu of fixed items can also run as an online store, from $799 for up to 25 products. If you already take deposits through your invoicing software, the site can link there instead. While you're reviewing your terms, note that the Reserve Bank's changes (opens in a new tab) removed surcharges on eftpos, Mastercard and Visa card payments from 1 October 2026; booking, service and public holiday fees aren't part of that change.

How should the site deal with allergy requests?

Ask on the enquiry form which guests have allergies or dietary needs, then confirm the detail by phone or email before the event. Food Standards Australia New Zealand (opens in a new tab) says allergen information for food that isn't labelled must be displayed with it or available on request, so the website names who to ask. It's also safer not to promise a nut-free or gluten-free service at a venue whose kitchen you don't control.

We run a food truck too. Can the site show where we'll be?

Yes. A short schedule of where the truck is parked each week, with times and a map link, sits above the catering packages, and bookings for the truck at private events go through the same enquiry form. Email us the new locations whenever they change; updating text on existing pages is part of the hosting.

Which package suits a catering business?

A grazing table or small event caterer can fit everything on the one-page site at $399. Most caterers do better on the 3-page site at $899: menus and events each get room of their own. If you cater weddings, corporate functions and office lunches as separate lines of business, the 8-page site at $1,499 gives each its own page, and takes 2–3 weeks once we have your words and photos.

Do you build catering websites outside Adelaide?

Yes. We're an Adelaide web design team working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, with current clients in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD. Send us your menus, prices and some photos from recent events, and we reply within 24 hours with a quote.
