Objective:

EventCater wanted to build a Shopify store that could handle online booking for corporate events, weddings, and other large-scale events. They aimed to offer their customers a seamless online ordering experience for customized catering packages while maintaining a high level of personalization and customer service.

Challenges:

Custom Orders: Catering services often require customized orders, making it difficult to manage online orders.

Complex Pricing: Different events and menus required unique pricing structures based on the number of guests, menu selections, and other factors.

Bookings and Availability: Managing event schedules and available staff for catering jobs through an online platform.

Branding: Standing out in a competitive catering industry with many established businesses.

Solution:

  • Shopify Store Setup:EventCater used a highly customizable Shopify theme designed for service-based businesses. The store was set up to showcase different catering packages such as corporate lunch catering, weddings, and holiday events.
  • Customizable Catering Packages: EventCater created a user-friendly product customization tool where clients could choose a menu (appetizers, main courses, desserts) based on their needs. Each package was priced based on the number of people served.
  • Booking System Integration: Using Shopify’s integration with booking apps like BookThatApp, EventCater allowed clients to schedule catering for specific dates. The booking system ensured that available slots were displayed, making it easy for customers to book a service without conflicts.
  • Tiered Pricing: Different pricing tiers were created for different types of events (corporate, weddings, etc.), with adjustable menus and services, such as wait staff and decor. These tiered packages helped customers choose the best option based on their budget and event requirements.
  • Personalization Options: Customers could add special requests, dietary restrictions, or unique themes to their orders via custom text fields during the checkout process.
  • Content Marketing: EventCater used their Shopify blog to share catering tips, menu trends, event-planning advice, and highlight case studies of past events.

Results:

Increased Engagement: The user-friendly online booking system and customizable packages increased engagement, with a 30% rise in repeat clients from corporate bookings.
Revenue Growth: By streamlining the online ordering process, EventCater saw a 25% increase in event bookings within the first six months.
Improved Operational Efficiency: The integrated booking and order management system helped EventCater manage their logistics and staff schedules more effectively.
Brand Recognition: The blog content and social media integration contributed to a stronger brand presence, with EventCater gaining recognition in the local event catering market.
