Squarespace can handle 3 of the 4 website jobs catering businesses usually need, using its own features and custom work. Still to check before you commit: online orders for office and small group catering.
Menus and packages by event type. The menu block shows menus, sections and items as text, which reads well on a phone.
Event quote requests with numbers and dates. Form blocks take custom fields, including a file upload for photos.
Delivery area check. There is no built-in checker; a small script added through code injection can do it on plans that include code injection.
Online orders for office and small group catering. Food ordering would come from a third-party ordering service linked from the site.
Features outside Squarespace's blocks need code injection or a third-party service.
Only part of the site exports if you move later.
All Squarespace plans include managed hosting.
Custom code can be added through code injection on plans that include it.
Extra features come from built-in blocks and linked services such as Acuity Scheduling and OpenTable.
Requires scoping means we have not confirmed it for this platform yet. We check it before quoting.
