With the advancement of technology and progressive online approach, restaurant or catering business has been in a greater position these days. Food lovers won’t just barge into any places nowadays. They want to see the place worth it before actually showing up. But how can one judge a restaurant and food catering service company without setting a foot inside? The answer is simple, a website for catering. A food catering website offers food menus, food prices, unique recipes, reservation options and many other facilities.
Not only websites are necessary; in this era of smartphones, the food and catering services are upping their business game by launching catering services apps. Most websites are accessed by phones, believe it or not. And hence either a responsive catering site or an app (or both) is important for the business. While creating an app can be tricky and requires a lot of money. If you are newly entering the catering business, then it’s not advisable to go for an app. What you can do is aim for a website that can be scaled for mobile viewing (responsive). If you already own a responsive website, you’re in luck. However, if you aren’t, then a WordPress website would be the easiest way to create one. Creating a WordPress website doesn’t take a lot of time and trouble. You can select your own domain and host in WordPress (just make sure you go to wordpress.org and wordpress.com). Now, you need a beautiful theme for your website. You indeed need to pay for your domain but what’s also true is that many WordPress themes are absolutely free! Here are a few responsive themes that you will love.
