Platters, buffets, cocktails: customers order your packages from the catalogue or describe their event in a quote form. You price it, they pay the deposit online.
How it works
Meal platters, cold buffets, cocktail bites, brunch: each package has its price, minimum and maximum quantities and preparation time.
Simple orders go straight through the catalogue. Events go through your quote form: event type, number of guests, diets and allergies.
You send the quote from your dashboard, the customer accepts and pays the deposit by card. The date is blocked; you request the balance before the event.
Built for events
Sell by the platter, per person or by the buffet. Minimum quantities and preparation times per package prevent impossible requests.
Wedding, seminar, christening, corporate cocktail: the customer enters the date, venue, guests and diets. You receive a complete request, not a three-line message.
Set your deposit percentage. Stripe payment secures the date; the balance is requested from the order as the event approaches.
The customer says whether they collect or want delivery, with the address and instructions. You organise your round from the planning.
Several events on the same Saturday? The planning and daily capacity ceiling stop you from saying yes to one reception too many.
A tiered cake for dessert and a buffet for the meal are handled in the same order, with one quote and one deposit.
Why a catering online shop
Most online shops are built to ship parcels. A caterer sells a date, a number of guests and a menu that changes with every reception. That is why Patissio pairs a classic catalogue, for platters and fixed-price packages, with a quote form you build yourself, for everything priced case by case.
Every request reaches your dashboard with all the useful details. You reply with a detailed quote, the customer accepts online and pays the deposit. No more chasing transfers, no more dates booked verbally: the reception is confirmed when the money is in.
The shop sits on the same showcase website as our pastry chefs: your buffet photos, opening hours and service area, on an address in your name. The free plan is enough to start; custom quotes and deposits come with the Pro plan.
