Catering Delivery Built for Small and Growing Operations
You don't need a fleet or a logistics team to deliver catering reliably. UniHop gives small catering businesses scheduled delivery with real-time monitoring, no contracts, and pricing that makes sense at lower volume.
The challenge
What Makes Delivery Hard for a Small Catering Operation?
Small catering businesses face a version of the same delivery problem that larger operations do — but with less margin for the added cost. Managing your own drivers means paying for availability you don't always need. Gig platforms charge commission on every order, which erodes margin on jobs that are already priced tight. And the lack of visibility on those platforms means a missed delivery hits your reputation before you even know there's a problem.
How it works
How UniHop Works for Small Catering Businesses
UniHop gives small catering operations delivery on demand with no contracts, no minimums, and pricing that scales with actual order volume. Use it for the jobs where you need reliable delivery without the overhead of running your own driver.
No Contract, No Minimum
Sign up and start placing orders when you need delivery. There's no monthly fee or delivery minimum — you pay per order based on distance and delivery style.
Choose the Right Delivery Style
Standard delivery works for straightforward drop-offs. Special Handling assigns a dedicated driver for presentation-sensitive orders, catering setups, or jobs where timing is critical.
Track Every Order in Real Time
Live order monitoring and GPS tracking keep you informed from pickup through delivery so you know where your order is without calling the driver.
Why UniHop
Why Small Catering Businesses Use UniHop
No Contracts, No Minimums
Use UniHop for the orders that need reliable delivery without committing to a monthly plan. Scale up during busy seasons and step back when volume drops — without renegotiating a contract.
Flat Delivery Fee, Not a Commission
A base fee plus per-mile rate means your delivery cost is predictable before the order goes out. For a catering business running tight margins, that matters more than the flexibility of a percentage commission.
Dedicated Driver When It Counts
Special Handling is available for the jobs that need it — a dedicated driver from pickup through delivery for time-specific or presentation-sensitive catering orders.
Live Visibility on Every Order
Real-time order tracking means you can tell a client exactly where their order is without calling the driver. For a small operation where your reputation rides on each job, that visibility is worth a lot.
