Social media and Google reviews for caterers

You're cooking for a hundred people this weekend. Your next client is looking at your Instagram right now. Crumbtrail posts for you every week, replies to every review and keeps your hours right, so the people who'd love your catering business can actually find it. All online, wherever you are.

What caterers deal with online

Your best work isn't online

The spreads, the setups, the happy hosts. If they're stuck on your phone, potential clients never see them.

Inquiries go to the wrong place

If your menus, minimums and contact details are hard to find, planners move on to someone easier.

Reviews come in waves

After a busy event season, a stack of unanswered reviews makes you look too busy to care.

Your customers become your content team

A QR card at the buffet or on the tables lets guests send photos from the event, with permission for you to repost. Every upload comes with the customer's permission to repost, we screen it, and nothing goes live until you approve it.

Honest note: The demo is free so you see real work, made from your own photos, before you spend anything.

Post ideas for your catering business

The kind of thing we'd plan for a typical week. You send phone photos (or your customers do), we handle the rest.

  • Event setups, shot before guests arrive
  • Plated dishes and buffet close-ups
  • Sample menus for weddings, offices and parties
  • Behind-the-scenes prep for a big event
  • A guest's photo from your QR card, credited to them

Simple, flat pricing

No website needed for the monthly plans. No contracts. Cancel anytime.

How it works

1. Get your free demo

Tell us your shop's name. From your own photos, menu and hours, we build a website preview, a week of sample posts and replies to your real Google reviews, and email you the link.

2. Pick a plan

Like it? Choose the website, a monthly plan or both. No contracts, and the website is yours to keep.

3. Approve and relax

Each week we send your posts and review replies. You reply "OK" from your phone. About ten minutes a week.

Questions from catering business owners

Do you work with caterers in my area?

Yes. Crumbtrail works with independent restaurants and food businesses anywhere in the US. Everything runs online: you text or upload photos, approve posts from your phone, and add us as a manager on Google. Your QR table tents and counter cards come as print-ready files you can print at home or at any print shop.

How much does it cost?

The Social + Reviews plan is $129 a month as a founding client price for our first 10 paying shops, who keep that price for as long as they stay subscribed. After that it's $199 a month for new clients. It's month to month, no website needed, and covers 3 to 5 social posts a week, a reply to every Google review, customer photo uploads and menu and hours sync. The Growth plan is $349 a month and adds a post every day, short videos and reels, a monthly customer-upload giveaway and a monthly report. Post volume depends on the photos and videos you, your staff or your customers send in through your QR upload page. If not much comes in, we post a little less and fill gaps with tips, graphics and review posts. Have more than one location? The first is full price and each additional location is 25% off any monthly plan, and a multi-location group uses one founding spot. Websites are $500 for a one-page Starter site, $1,000 for a Plus site with up to 5 pages and commission-free online ordering (cart and pickup checkout, paid straight to your own Stripe account), or from $1,500 for a custom site. We build you a free demo before you pay anything. Any monthly plan includes hosting and unlimited small updates for a website we built. Website-only clients pick a flat care plan: Hosting only $30 a month, Hosting + Updates $100 a month (unlimited small updates), or Pro Care $200 a month (adds a monthly section redo or new page and priority in the queue). Never hourly. Small updates take 1 to 2 business days, and more difficult fixes 2 to 3.

What if I don't have many photos to send?

That's normal. How many posts go out depends on the photos and videos we get from you, your staff, or your customers through your QR upload page. If not much comes in during a week, we post a little less and fill the gaps with helpful tips, simple graphics and posts featuring your best reviews, so your page doesn't go quiet.

Can you help us show off past events?

Yes. Send us photos and videos after each event, and your guests can add theirs through your QR card. We'll turn the best into posts and a gallery on your website if we host it.

Will you post anything without my OK?

No. You approve each week's posts, and any reply to a 1 to 3 star review comes to you first. Anything serious, like a food-safety complaint, goes straight to you.

Do I have to give you my passwords?

No. You add us as a manager on your Google Business Profile and other accounts, and you can remove us anytime.
