for restaurants
uncatered. connects restaurants with event venues that traditionally require full-service caterers by providing the staffing, equipment, and operational oversight that venues need to protect their spaces. This allows restaurants to participate in a segment of the events market that has historically been difficult to access. Restaurants simply do what they do best: prepare great food. uncatered. handles the rest. Our team provides the tables, chairs, linens, service staff, and cleanup required by the venue, allowing restaurants to focus on preparing consistent, high-quality drop-off orders.
why restaurants participate
Access to the events market
Many venues have historically limited food service to traditional caterers. uncatered.provides the infrastructure that allows restaurant food to be served in these venues.
No commissions on food
Unlike well-known delivery services, uncatered. does not take a commission from restaurants and does not mark up menu pricing. Restaurants are paid their normal menu prices.
No additional operational burden
Restaurants are not responsible for staffing, rentals, or event management. uncatered. provides the equipment and service staff for each event.
Exposure to planners and venues
Restaurant partners gain visibility with event planners and venues looking for high-quality casual food options.
what restaurants provide
uncatered. will work with each partner restaurant to curate offerings from their existing menu. Selections should be items that translate well to event service and can be executed consistently for drop-off orders.
Suggested items may include:
• Individually boxed meals
• Platters or composed bites
• Items that hold well for service
• Menu options appropriate for groups of 20–100 guests
• Delivery to the venue (if needed, uncatered. can recommend a third-party delivery service.)
