TextMint for Caterers

Stop losing catering gigs to a slow reply

TextMint builds your catering business a real website, then takes your event quotes, bookings, and deposits right inside WhatsApp. You cook. It handles the back and forth.

Free during launch. No signup, no card. Just text us.

If you cater weddings, owambe parties, corporate lunches, or small chops trays, your business runs on your phone. Menus get typed out one client at a time, dates get promised in a chat you will scroll past in an hour, and deposits arrive as screenshots you have to squint at. TextMint gives your catering business a proper home online and a calmer way to take bookings, without you learning a single new app.

The hard parts

You retype the same menu every single day

A new lead asks what you offer for 100 guests, and you spend fifteen minutes typing out trays, prices, and package options you already sent to five other people this week.

Two clients, one date, and no clean way to say who is confirmed

Somebody asks to book your last Saturday in December, but you already promised it to another client whose deposit has not landed yet. You end up guessing, or apologising.

Your best spreads are buried in old WhatsApp statuses

You catered a beautiful owambe last month and it disappeared from your status in 24 hours. A new client asks to see your work and you are scrolling through a gallery app for proof.

How TextMint helps

A menu and portfolio website that sells for you

A real website with your trays, packages, prices, and photos from past events. Send one link instead of retyping your menu. It shows up on Google when people search for a caterer near them.

Order on WhatsApp button with the event details filled in

Clients pick a package, guest count, and date, then land straight in your WhatsApp with all of it already typed out. You confirm the booking instead of interrogating them for details.

Deposits confirmed before you touch your ingredients

TextMint sends a payment link for the deposit and confirms the transfer landed. No more starting a 200 plate order on a promise and a blurry receipt.

Follow-ups on quotes and past clients

It nudges people who asked for a quote but never confirmed, and helps you message past clients when the December rush, a birthday season, or a corporate contract renewal comes around.

What it looks like

Adun's Kitchen / Trans Amadi, Port Harcourt

Adun's Kitchen used to run every booking through one WhatsApp number, retyping the same jollof and small chops price list ten times a day. Two clients once booked the same Saturday because there was no clean record of who had paid a deposit. With TextMint, they got a website showing every package with prices and photos from past events, an Order on WhatsApp button that captures the date and guest count upfront, and deposits confirmed automatically. Now a client picks a package, the booking lands clean, and the date is only locked in once the deposit clears.

Illustrative example, not a real customer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to build a website?

No. You describe your catering business to TextMint in a WhatsApp chat, and it builds the site for you in about a minute. You approve it, and you can ask it to change a price, a package, or a photo any time by texting.

Will I still take bookings the way I do now, in WhatsApp?

Yes. The booking still lands in your WhatsApp, which is where you already work. TextMint just makes the path shorter, so the guest count, date, and package arrive typed out and organised instead of scattered across a chat.

How do deposits work for event bookings?

When a client is ready to confirm a date, TextMint creates a payment link and confirms the transfer for you. You know the deposit has cleared before you commit ingredients, staff, or a delivery slot, which protects you from double bookings and no-shows.

Is it really free to get started?

TextMint is free during launch. You can get your catering website and your WhatsApp booking system set up without paying anything upfront.
