Ready-made · live demo online
Fifty-seven pages for a Queens caterer that delivers office breakfasts, lunches and hot buffets and staffs weddings and parties, and the software such a kitchen runs on: drop-off orders priced by the guest and by the tray, a delivery window from a van that is free at that time, New York City sales tax on its own line, an allergy call from the kitchen before anything is made, events that start as an enquiry, and kitchen screens. Nothing is paid on the website.

Demonstration site. Woodside Larder Catering, LLC is a fictional business invented for this demo — every phone number on it is literally 000-000-0000. The website itself is entirely real and built exactly as yours would be.
Why this design works for a caterer
A caterer's website is read by someone ordering lunch for a meeting, usually the day before. So on this design every dish says what it costs a guest and what a tray serves, the order form suggests how many trays a head count needs, and the running total shows the food, the sales tax and the total before anything is sent. A ZIP code brings up the delivery days and the half-hour windows a van is still free for, and the order closes at one cut-off: noon on the kitchen day before.
New York taxes catered food whether it arrives hot or cold, so the tax is its own line on every total, every sample order and every confirmation. Delivery is included, with one minimum per area and no small-order fee. An order can be changed or cancelled free until its cut-off, and after that cancelling costs half the food, never more. Plates and cutlery come only if you tick the box, as New York City asks, and the order form carries the city's allergy notice, nine allergen boxes and one short line, and an allergy brings a telephone call from the kitchen.
And the caterer claims only what it can. No letter grade, no permit number, no 'nut-free kitchen', no 'gluten-free' or kosher label, no alcohol, no open flame at a drop-off, no service charge. Staff hours at an event are priced as staff hours and said not to be a tip. Thirteen pages quote what caterers commonly advertise and answer each with the rule and its source.
Every dish carries its price a guest or a tray and what a half and a full tray serve, so the order form can suggest the trays for a head count, and every sample order is worked out by the same engine the order form uses.
New York taxes catered food whether it arrives hot or cold. So every price says it is before tax, and every total on the site, in the form and in the confirmation shows the food, the 8.875% tax and the total.
A kitchen that uses wheat, nuts and sesame every day cannot promise a dish free of them. The menu says what each recipe contains, carries New York's allergy notice, and an allergy on an order brings a telephone call before anything is cooked.
Above sixty guests, or with staff, the order form hands over to an enquiry. Event prices are guide ranges by service style, staff hours are priced as hours and said not to be a tip, and there is no service charge.
Screenshots from the live site
These are screenshots of the real website, taken from the live demo. Nothing here is a mockup — open it yourself and every one of these pages loads.
Mobile first, not mobile afterthought
Local service searches are overwhelmingly done on phones, so the phone layout is the one we design first and test hardest. Text stays readable without zooming, the phone number stays reachable with a thumb, and nothing needs a horizontal scroll.
Every page, listed
57 indexable pages, each with its own title, description, structured data and a place in the sitemap. That is 57 chances to appear in a search instead of one.
Included — not an add-on
Forty-five dishes and six packages, each priced by the guest or the tray. An order holds a head count, its lines and a delivery window, and every window draws on two vans and a kitchen that cooks for three hundred guests a day. The website, the e-mailed order page and the kitchen screens all read the same database, and the rules are written once for the page and once for the server, then checked against each other.
The software runs on your own hosting and belongs to you. There is no monthly licence, no per-booking commission and no third party holding your customer list — which over a few years is usually worth more than the price of the website.
What $890 covers
You get the same structure and design system with your business in it — your name, logo, colours, photographs, services, prices and locations, and every page rewritten for you. Two businesses starting from this design do not end up looking like each other.
Pages you do not need come out. Pages you need that are not there can be added at $90 each. The local SEO — titles, descriptions, structured data and the copy itself — is retargeted from Woodside to wherever you actually work.

Questions
Not in this demonstration. The order is confirmed by e-mail and paid on invoice, and the kitchen screens record the payment. Online payment brings in a payment provider and its own rules on deposits and refunds — a real conversation, and one we are happy to have.
Yes. The managers can take a dish off for a week from the staff screens, and the order form stops offering it at once. New dishes and new prices are added once, and every page, sample and total follows.
Yes. This design has two, each with its own minimum, window length and days, and each ZIP code belongs to one. Yours can have as many as you deliver to.
Gluten-free is a word with a legal threshold, and kosher and halal are claims New York regulates; this design uses none of them. If your kitchen is certified, your site can say so with the certifier's name.
No. Every picture on this demonstration was generated by a computer and says so on the picture. Your own food, photographed, replaces them.
More general questions are answered on the sample websites page.
Other ready-made designs
A reservation holds a real unit out of a real pool for a real date. The size estimator and the sales copy are generated from one volume table, so the calculator and the page cannot disagree.
