For caterers ยท Social media management

Social media for caterers.

Planners check a caterer's social to see whether the gallery is real and recent. A steady feed of actual events answers that better than any claim.

The catering company version

Why it matters.

A couple finds you on a venue's vendor list, then opens your Instagram. If the last event posted was two summers ago, they wonder whether you are still busy, still good, still operating. If the feed shows setups from last weekend, a tasting menu from this month and a team that clearly knows what it is doing, the inquiry practically writes itself.

Caterers have something most businesses would envy: a new event every week, each with its own venue, menu and setup. The trouble is time. Weekends are for events and weekdays for prep. I build the system that turns those events into posts without anyone staying up late writing captions.

What I would build

For a catering company.

01A system for event recaps

The complete content system built in your brand: templates for event recaps, menu highlights, tastings and seasonal offers, so every post looks like the same company.

02Captions in your voice

Posts written in your voice, specific to the event style and menu. Wedding posts read warm, corporate posts read dependable. Venues and vendors tagged where they have agreed.

03One approval between events

One approval step, not a committee. You see the batch midweek, approve it, and it is scheduled and published, even on a Saturday when you are plating for a crowd.

04A month of results, summarized

A monthly summary of what ran and what moved, including which posts sent people to the inquiry form or the tasting calendar, so you know what is pulling its weight.

The mistake I see

Posting only the food, never the event

Food close-ups collect likes, but planners scroll a caterer's feed to picture their own event. Show the setup, the tent, the staff in motion, the buffet line with real guests, with permission. A planner deciding whether you can handle their crowd needs to see you handle a crowd.

What you get

Social media management.

The one service with a public price, because it is the same system every time.

  • The complete content system built in your brand
  • Posts written and designed, in your voice

Questions

What caterers ask.

What does social media management cost?

My social pricing is published because the system is the same every time: $499 setup, your first month free, then from $499/month. There is a 90-day agreement, and you can cancel any time after. For a caterer, starting before peak booking season gets the most out of the free month.

Can you post photos from weddings?

When the couple has agreed, yes, and it is worth asking for that permission at contract time. Where they say no, I use setup shots, food-only photos and tasting images. Tagging the venue and other vendors, with their okay, also puts your work in front of their audiences.

Should we post our menus and prices?

Menus, yes, because they help planners imagine the event. Prices on social rarely work, because they lose their context and invite comparison without the details. Post starting points or package names, and send people to the site for the specifics.

What comes after

Pairs well with.

Wrong problem? Pick again

I run and I keep losing jobs to

The list is not everything. Not on it? Pick “a business not listed,” or run the free Receipt. It works for any business.

The Receipt looks your catering company up the way a customer would and itemizes what is costing you calls. It is free. Or skip it and book fifteen minutes with me.
