Three steps to your event

From request to booked caterer, all in one place.

💬
Step 1

Tell us about your event

A 7-question chat about your guest list, cuisine, and dietary needs. Takes under 3 minutes.

🍽️

Caterers match & quote

We route your request to caterers who actually do your region — Punjabi, Gujarati, Tamil, Wazwan, Bengali, and more.

🎉
Step 3

Book the one you love

Compare real quotes side by side. Book in one click. Pay the deposit and balance through CaterBid — protected until after your event.

— Where we work —

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?+

We match your request to caterers in your area and email you each quote as it comes in, so you can compare before booking. We'll keep you posted as caterers respond.

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, and you can ask the caterer questions on the quote page before you book. Once you book and pay the deposit, an in-app chat unlocks to finalize the menu and logistics. Full phone/email contact unmasks automatically on the event day for delivery coordination.

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.
