ABOUT US
What is CATERWINGS about?
CATERWINGS is an online ordering platform that collects and shows you the best catering vendors in your city, so you can have the perfect food delivered for your events.
How does CATERWINGS work?
CATERWINGS is designed to take the hassle out of finding a caterer and organising your perfect occasion. Based on our market knowledge and industry insight, we have worked to offer menus to suit every event. We work with a limited number of caterers who we have preselected to produce and deliver the food. The menus have been refined with our caterers to meet our high quality and service standards. When you order through our site, we forward the request to the chosen partner, who prepares the food according to our specifications and quality level, and delivers it on time. Quality and timely delivery are very important to us, so caterers who do not meet our standards, do not work with us.
