And the ones we haven't listed — ask, we probably have a chef for it.
All fifty states.
Wherever the diaspora is.
We match you to caterers within your delivery radius — five, fifteen, or twenty-five miles, depending on your city's density. Tier-1 metros usually return four or more competing quotes; smaller markets, one to three.
If we don't have a caterer in your area yet, we'll tell you on the spot — no fake quotes, no upcharge, no wait.
Built for desi events
Not a generic catering site that happens to list Indian food.
Regional, not generic
Match a Wazwan caterer for a Kashmiri wedding. Not just 'Indian food.' 30+ regional cuisines.
Jain, halal, no-onion-garlic
Dietary requirements are first-class — not a checkbox afterthought. We even handle Paryushan-grade Jain.
Knows your event types
Sangeet, mehndi, puja, corporate, birthday. We ask the right follow-ups based on the occasion.
Mixed-cuisine weddings
Bride's Gujarati, groom's Punjabi? We handle blend and separate-section menus. Or hire two caterers.
Common questions
How much does CaterBid cost me?+
Nothing. There are no markups or fees for customers — you pay the caterer's price (plus any sales tax). You pay the deposit and the balance securely through CaterBid, and your money is held and protected until after your event.
How fast will I get quotes?+
Most requests get their first quote within 4–6 hours. We aim to have multiple quotes within 24 hours so you can compare before booking.
What if I have dietary restrictions?+
We have first-class support for pure vegetarian, Jain (standard and Paryushan-grade), halal, no-onion-no-garlic, vegan, and gluten-free. We only match caterers who can actually cover what you need.
Can I talk to the caterer before booking?+
Quotes include a menu summary. After you book, you get an in-app chat with the caterer to finalize the menu and logistics. Contact info shares automatically on the event day.
Where is CaterBid available?+
Across the United States. Coverage is densest in major desi metros (Bay Area, NY/NJ, DFW, Atlanta, Chicago, LA) and growing.
