Configuring Food Orders
For food providers, you'll choose how ordering works at your event:
À la carte
Guests order and pay individually from the menu. You set a minimum guarantee, and sales are tracked in real-time during the event.
Catering package
Pre-select menu items for all guests. Choose a catering package and customize what's served. Price is typically per-person.
You can also add beverages, note any food allergies, and include special requests for the provider.
