Wedding Catering Delivery That Handles the Stakes
Wedding catering has no margin for error. UniHop gives caterers a delivery option with dedicated drivers, scheduled pickup windows, and real-time dispatch monitoring for jobs where the timing, presentation, and coordination all have to work.
The challenge
Why Is Wedding Catering Delivery Different?
Wedding catering runs on a fixed timeline with no flexibility for delays. The food has to arrive at the venue before service, in the right condition, and in coordination with the setup team — none of which a standard gig delivery app is equipped to manage. High-value jobs on a percentage commission also mean gig platforms quietly reduce the margin on every wedding you work to book. And if something goes wrong with the delivery, there's no one to call who can actually fix it.
How it works
How UniHop Works for Wedding Catering
UniHop's Special Handling delivery assigns a dedicated driver to the order from pickup through delivery, with the dispatch team monitoring the run. Pickup timing is planned around your kitchen so the food arrives at the venue when it needs to — not when the next available driver shows up.
Submit the Order in Advance
Provide the venue address, arrival window, setup notes, and any access requirements. The pickup is scheduled around your production timeline.
Dedicated Driver From Pickup Through Arrival
Special Handling assigns one driver to the order for the full run. No handoffs between drivers. No routing through a marketplace.
Dispatch Monitors the Entire Delivery
The dispatch team watches the run in real time and can intervene if anything needs attention before it affects the venue or the timeline.
Why UniHop
Why Wedding Caterers Use UniHop
Fixed-Window Arrivals, Not Estimated Ones
Weddings run on schedules measured in minutes. Scheduled delivery plans the pickup around your kitchen so the food arrives at the venue when the timeline requires it — not when driver availability allows.
One Driver for the Full Run
Special Handling keeps the same driver on the order from pickup through arrival. For multi-tray, presentation-sensitive loads, that consistency matters more than it does for a typical restaurant delivery.
Venue-Ready Coordination
Add venue access notes, dock information, service entrance details, and setup instructions to the order. The driver has that information before they leave the pickup location.
No Commission on the Order
UniHop charges a base fee plus per-mile rate. For high-value catering jobs, a flat delivery cost is more predictable — and more profitable — than a percentage of order value on every wedding you run.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Deliveries to wedding venues, banquet halls, private estates, and event spaces work the same way as any other address. Include the venue's service entrance, loading dock details, and any access codes in the order notes and the driver will have that information from the start of the run.
Yes. UniHop supports scheduled deliveries placed in advance so the pickup window is planned around your production timeline, not locked in the morning of the event. Scheduling in advance also gives the dispatch team time to plan the run properly for time-sensitive jobs.
Multi-stop deliveries can be configured for orders going to more than one location at the same event — for example, a cocktail space and a reception hall at the same property. Include stop details in the order notes and the driver has the full routing picture from pickup.
Special Handling is designed for exactly this scenario. A dedicated driver is assigned to the order for the full run, and the dispatch team monitors delivery in real time. Include any specific handling instructions — fragile items, upright-only trays, temperature requirements — in the order notes so the driver knows before they load.
UniHop uses a base fee plus per-mile pricing rather than a commission on order value. The total depends on delivery style, distance, and region. For multi-stop or large-scale event deliveries, talk to our team about how the pricing applies to your specific setup. See current rates →
