How to set up your catering and baking in kenya on LinkDuka

Follow the steps for this business type, then review each request or order before confirming the work.

  1. Publish menus and packages

    Add sample menus, portions, minimum orders, service areas, and starting prices.

  2. Share the page with customers

    Use your shop link on WhatsApp, social profiles, and event enquiries.

  3. Review each food request

    Customers provide a preferred date, location, and notes for you to confirm availability and scope.

Help customers plan food for an event

Catering customers need more than a food photo. Tell them what the menu includes, how portions are calculated, whether serving staff or equipment are included, which locations you serve, and how much notice you need. If a price changes with guest count, provide a clear starting point and ask for the final number in the request.

Separate event catering from everyday meals, cakes, or meal-prep plans when the buying process differs. This keeps the page specific and helps a customer find the right offer without sending several messages to establish the basics.

Use requests to confirm custom food orders

A customer can send a preferred date, location, and notes through a request listing. Use that information to check your calendar, delivery distance, menu requirements, allergies, and guest count. Confirm any food-safety or dietary limitations directly and avoid promising a service you cannot provide.

For custom cakes, state the lead time and the details you need, such as size, flavour, event date, and design reference. For meal prep, explain the delivery schedule and how customers choose or change meals.

What to put on a catering listing

Give customers enough detail to decide whether to send a request, then confirm the final menu and price with them.

  • Menu - Name dishes, serving sizes, and any substitutions you can support.
  • Guest count - Show minimum quantities and how the price changes with headcount.
  • Service - Clarify whether setup, serving staff, equipment, or delivery is included.
  • Dietary needs - Explain how customers should raise allergies or special meal requests for your review.
