How it works

Simple for hosts and businesses

For customers

  1. Tell us about your event

    Occasion, date, guests, dietary needs and budget — once.

  2. Compare your options

    Packages, matches and bids side by side, with every fee shown upfront.

  3. Book & relax

    Pay a deposit; your payment is held securely by BissCAT until your event.

For businesses

  1. Set up once

    Import your menu from a PDF, website or POS. Pricing rules do the quoting.

  2. Get booked three ways

    Listings, Smart Match and bids all run from one profile.

  3. Cater & get paid

    Funds are released after the event. No fees to join, list or quote.

Trust & safety

Safety is a feature, not fine print

  • Verified businesses

    Food registration, Food Safety Supervisor, insurance and liquor licences checked.

  • Secure payments

    Your payment is held securely by BissCAT until your event is fulfilled.

  • Genuine reviews

    Only verified bookings can be reviewed. Reviews are double-blind.

  • Allergy-aware

    Severe allergies must be confirmed by the business before they can accept.

Why it works

Made for busy hosts and busy kitchens

  • “I posted our team lunch at 9 am and had four bids with dietary counts sorted before my 11 o’clock.”
    Office manager · Corporate lunch, 30 guests
  • “My nephew has a severe nut allergy. Seeing the caterer confirm it before I paid meant I could actually enjoy the party.”
    Parent · 40th birthday, 50 guests
  • “Bids are drafted from my pricing rules, so I quote in one tap between services instead of at midnight.”

FAQ

Questions, answered

What does BissCAT cost for customers?

Browsing, matching and receiving bids are free. When you book, a small service fee is shown as its own line before you pay — never hidden in the total.

Should I get bids or book directly?

Book directly when a listed package fits. Get bids when your event is custom, large or you want businesses to compete on value. Smart match sits in between: a ranked shortlist you can book or invite to quote.

Is my payment safe?

Yes. You pay a deposit at booking and the balance 7 days before the event. Your payment is held securely by BissCAT and released to the business only after the event.

How do allergies and dietary needs work?

You record dietary headcounts and allergens with severity. Severe allergies are pinned to the booking and must be acknowledged by the business. We can’t eliminate cross-contact risk, so always confirm details with the business.

What if the caterer cancels or is late?

The BissCAT Guarantee covers you: if a business cancels close to the event or doesn’t show, we find a replacement or refund you. Late arrivals trigger pre-agreed compensation.

Can my company pay by invoice?

Corporate accounts with invoices, PO numbers and approvals are coming soon. Every booking already includes GST tax invoices.
