Catering & Group Dining Finder

Catering & Group Dining Finder

Give it your event details and it does the calling around for you. This agent finds caterers and restaurants that handle group events in your area, contacts each one on your behalf, and returns a single side-by-side comparison of availability, menus, and real prices. You decide what happens next.

What you provide

• Date and time of the event
• Location (city or neighbourhood)
• Headcount
• Budget per person (optional — you choose whether vendors see it)
• Dietary needs, with guest counts for each (e.g. 2 vegan, 1 gluten-free)
• Service style: drop-off catering, buffet, or private dining room

What you get

One comparison report that separates vendors who confirmed your date from those who did not. For each vendor it shows:

• Availability for your date and time (Confirmed / Not confirmed / Declined / No reply)
• Price per person and total price, exactly as the vendor stated them
• Minimum spend, deposit, and cancellation terms
• Dietary coverage for each need in your brief: Covered / Not covered / Not confirmed
• A contact log showing every vendor contacted, the channel used, and when
• Next steps, including which vendors need a tasting, call, or site visit before confirming

Vendors who declined or did not reply are listed in the report, not left out. Prices are shown exactly as vendors stated them — many are starting points, and the report says when a price is not final. A need is marked "Not confirmed" unless the vendor explicitly addressed it, so nothing is assumed on your behalf.

How it works

1. You confirm the brief.
2. The agent finds caterers and restaurants that offer your service style in your area.
3. It contacts each vendor by email or contact form, on behalf of a customer, and asks the standard questions: availability, menus, price per person and total, taxes and fees, minimum spend, deposit, cancellation policy, and dietary coverage.
4. It sends one targeted follow-up per missing or vague answer, up to two follow-ups per vendor.
5. When the collection window closes, it builds the comparison and delivers it, even if some vendors are still silent.

The collection window is 72 hours from when you confirm your brief. The report arrives at the end of that window.

What it does not do

The agent never books, accepts a quote, pays a deposit, or commits you to anything. It does not share your contact details with vendors unless you approve it. It never invents a price, minimum, deposit, or dietary answer — every value in the report is exactly what a vendor stated, with the vendor's wording kept as the source.

FAQ

Will it book for me? No. It never books, accepts a quote, or pays a deposit. You decide what happens next.

Are the prices final? Prices are shown exactly as vendors stated them. Many are starting points, because menu choices, taxes, and service charges can change the total. The report says which.

What if a vendor does not say whether they can cover my dietary needs? The agent asks once, naming each need and its guest count. If there is still no answer when the window closes, the report shows "Not confirmed" for that need.

Will vendors know it is an AI? Every message and call says it is on behalf of a customer. The agent answers yes if a vendor asks whether it is an AI, and says so upfront where local law requires it.

Are calls recorded? No. The agent keeps only the details needed for your report.

Who sees my contact details? No vendor, unless you approve sharing them. Vendors reply to the agent.

What if my area has few vendors? The report says how many vendors could handle your event and how many replied. It does not pad the list.

Can availability change after I get the report? Yes. Popular dates can book up, so contact your preferred vendor promptly.
