Catering Contact Form Template

Catering quotes are date-driven and headcount-driven — same menu costs differently for 30 vs 300 vs corporate vs wedding. The form captures both upfront so the quote arrives same-day, not in three rounds.

How to add it

How to add a Catering Contact Form to your site.

To add a Catering Contact Form to your site you need three things: a free splitforms access key, the HTML snippet above, and your key pasted into it. No backend, database, or CAPTCHA library — the form posts to one URL and every submission lands in your inbox and dashboard.

Capture date and headcount

Required: event date, headcount range (final headcount lands later), service style (drop-off / buffet / plated / family-style / passed apps), event type (wedding / corporate / private / fundraiser).

Note dietary needs

Field for vegan / vegetarian / gluten-free counts plus allergies. Most events have 5-15% special-diet guests — capturing on the form lets the kitchen plan portions, not improvise during service.

Send the proposal

Auto-respond confirming date availability and an ETA on the proposal (24-48 hours). For wedding inquiries, include a tasting-booking link. Tastings are the conversion event for higher-end catering.

What's included

What's in this Catering Contact Form template?

Catering quotes have three big inputs: headcount, service style (drop-off / buffet / plated / family-style), and event date (peak Saturdays in summer book 6-12 months out). Per-guest pricing runs $20-35 drop-off, $45-85 buffet, $85-200 plated. Add bar service, rentals, and staff and a wedding catering quote crosses $20k easily. The form captures all of this so the coordinator can quote within 24 hours instead of trading three emails on basics. Dietary restrictions matter too — vegan and gluten-free are now expected on every event, but allergies (peanut, shellfish) need kitchen accommodation. Capture on the form, not at the tasting. Webhooks into Total Party Planner / Tripleseat / Caterease.

  • Catering quote request — 8 ready-made fields
  • HTML, JS, React, PHP, and cURL outputs
  • One POST endpoint, no SDK — honeypot and spam scoring, no CAPTCHA

How SplitForms works

What happens after someone submits your form?

splitforms receives the submission, filters spam, saves it to your dashboard and emails you — then, on paid plans, sends it on to your webhooks and integrations. No backend infrastructure to build.

Where can submissions go besides email?

On paid plans, submissions can also go to Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, Notion, Airtable, Zapier or any signed webhook — and splitforms works on the platforms you build on, from WordPress and Shopify to Next.js. With Stripe connected, your forms can take payments too.

Questions

Catering Contact Form questions.

View all FAQs
Should I show per-guest pricing on the site?

Show 'starting at $X/guest' for each service style. Catering is shopped on price more than most event services; transparency filters out the budget mismatches early. Custom quotes still happen for wedding and corporate, but the floor is public.

Can I integrate with Total Party Planner / Caterease / CaterZen / Tripleseat?

Yes — webhook the JSON. All four catering CRMs accept inbound leads via Zapier or native APIs. Lead lands as an event with date, headcount, and service style pre-filled, ready for the proposal.

How do I handle bar service and rentals?

Add 'bar service / rentals / both / neither' checkboxes. Bar adds $15-30/guest plus liquor liability insurance considerations. Rentals (linens, china, glassware) are commonly a 15-20% markup on the rental house's invoice. Capture interest on the form; quote on the call.

What about food-truck / drop-off-only catering?

Add a service-style option for food-truck or drop-off-only. Different pricing model (often per-guest minimum), different staffing (zero or minimal), different equipment (the truck or stack of disposables). Same form, different proposal template.
