Automate WhatsApp & Instagram for Your Catering Service with ZapUp

Caterers quote per-plate rates for weddings and events across multiple menu tiers, and every enquiry needs guest count, event date, and cuisine preference clarified before a quote can even be given.

Quick answer

ZapUp collects guest count, event date, cuisine type and budget range through a structured WhatsApp flow, auto-generates the relevant per-plate quote tier, and follows up on tasting requests and advance payments so the caterer isn't manually re-quoting every enquiry.

Watch it handle a real conversation

The demo on the right is the exact kind of exchange your catering service gets every day โ€” answered, qualified, and booked without you touching the phone.

The four automations that do the work

Guest Count & Quote Builder

ZapUp asks for guest count, veg/non-veg preference and event type, then sends the matching per-plate rate tier automatically.

Date Availability Check

When a customer shares an event date, ZapUp checks it against the booking calendar and confirms availability or suggests alternate dates.

Tasting Session Scheduler

For serious enquiries, ZapUp offers available tasting slots and confirms the booking so the sales team only shows up prepared.

Advance & Menu Lock-In Reminder

After a quote is accepted, ZapUp sends the advance payment link and a menu finalization deadline reminder closer to the event date.

The Instagram side

Discovery happens on Instagram โ€” ZapUp runs both

Caterers get discovered through Instagram Reels of live counters and plated spreads, and ZapUp converts "what's the rate for X guests" DM comments straight into a structured WhatsApp quote flow instead of the caterer typing per-plate math for every enquiry.

Before you ask

Can I automate per-plate quotes for my catering business on WhatsApp?

Yes. ZapUp collects guest count, menu preference and event date, then sends the matching per-plate rate automatically instead of you calculating and typing a quote for every enquiry.

Can it check date availability for wedding bookings?

Yes, when a customer shares an event date ZapUp checks it against your booking calendar and confirms availability or suggests nearby open dates.

Does ZapUp help schedule tasting sessions?

Yes, it offers open tasting slots to interested customers and confirms the booking, so your team only attends tastings for enquiries that are ready to commit.
