Questions

Good to know

Is it free for planners?

Yes. Signing up, posting requests and chatting with providers on Cater2U is free for planners.

Who sees my contact details?

Nobody, until you choose a provider and confirm the booking. Before that, businesses only see your first name and city. We also mask phone numbers and email addresses typed into chats before a booking.

Can I ask for just one service, like catering?

Absolutely. Request a single service (catering only, décor only, a cake) or a whole team for the day.

How do businesses pay?

Businesses buy prepaid service credits and use them to unlock the requests they want to respond to. There are no commissions on your booking.

Which areas do you cover?

All nine provinces of South Africa. Providers choose the areas they serve, so you hear from people who can actually get to your venue.

Ready when you are

Planners post for free. Businesses join free and pay only for the requests they choose.
