no in between.
Caterers live and die by event bookings. Slammed on weekends in wedding season, dead for weeks in between. You need consistent bookings year-round—not just when people happen to find you. Here's what caterers tell us:
Seasonal Wedding Slumps
Booked solid October-March, then crickets April-September. You can't sustain a catering business on 6 good months per year. Need corporate events, private functions year-round.
Last-Minute Enquiries & Cancellations
People enquire 2 weeks before their event expecting availability, or book then cancel leaving you scrambling. Need advance bookings from organized clients who plan ahead.
Price Shoppers Who Disappear
Spending hours on detailed quotes for people who ghost or go with their friend who "does catering." Need serious clients who value professional service and food quality.
Relying On Venue Referrals Only
Great when venues recommend you, but you're at their mercy. Need your own direct bookings from brides, corporate event planners, and private clients.
turn every night
into busy night.
Facebook & Instagram are where people discover new caterers and plan their nights out. Here's how we help you fill tables and build regulars:
Target Local Foodies Within Walking Distance
We target people within 5-15km who've shown interest in dining out, food, caterers, or your cuisine type. Reach people already looking for somewhere to eat tonight—not people who cook at home every night.
Your Food Photography Works
Those iPhone shots of your signature dishes? Perfect. People want to see real food that looks delicious, not overly styled magazine photos. Your current Instagram content is exactly what we need to make people hungry.
Fill Specific Nights & Times
Target different people for different times—office workers for lunch, date nights for weekends, families for early dinners. Run special promotions for dead Monday/Tuesday nights to build consistent traffic all week.
Build Your Local Regular Crowd
Repeated visibility builds familiarity. People see your catering business pop up in their feed multiple times, recognize it when walking past, and think "let's try that place." That's how you build regulars, not tourists.

Paula
Catering Business Owner · Auckland, NZ
"We were relying on venue referrals and word-of-mouth—busy during wedding season, then nothing for months. Since running ads with Honest Ads, we're getting direct enquiries from brides planning their weddings, corporate event planners, and private party hosts. We're booking events 6-9 months in advance now instead of scrambling for last-minute work."
asked by every
catering business owner.
Do I need professional food photography?
No. iPhone photos of your actual dishes work great. Natural lighting, close-ups of food, happy diners eating—that's what converts. People want to see real food, not magazine-quality staged shots that don't look like what they'll actually get.
How much should I spend on ads?
Start with $500-$1,000/month in ad spend (plus our $599 management fee). For Caterers, if ads bring 10-20 extra covers per week at $40-60 per head, that's $400-$1,200/week in extra revenue. ROI is immediate and measurable.
Can this work for bars without food?
Absolutely. Same strategy—showcase your atmosphere, signature cocktails, events, and vibe. Target people looking for after-work drinks, weekend nights out, or live music venues. Bars benefit just as much as caterers.
Will this help with specific nights or events?
Yes! Run targeted campaigns for specific nights—Taco Tuesdays, Burger Mondays, Quiz Nights, Live Music. Different ads for different promotions fills different nights. You control what nights you want to push.
What if I'm in a busy area with lots of competition?
Even better. Busy areas mean more people nearby scrolling Instagram deciding where to eat. We'll make sure your catering business stands out with what makes you unique—your cuisine, atmosphere, specialty dishes, or local reputation.
