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

Wedding catering runs as Special Handling, so dispatch selects the driver for the job and briefs them before pickup, 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.

1

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.

2

A Driver Is Selected for the Job

Dispatch picks the driver for the order and briefs them on the venue, timeline, and handling notes before pickup. One driver stays with the order for the full run, with no handoffs mid-route.

3

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.

A Driver Chosen for Your Event, Not the Next One Available

Wedding catering runs as Special Handling, so the job is not posted to a queue for whoever accepts first. Dispatch selects the driver, briefs them on the venue and timeline before pickup, and invites drivers who handle your events well back for the next one. The same driver stays on the order from pickup through arrival.

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 delivery cost driven by distance rather than order value is knowable up front — and leaves more of the margin with you than a percentage taken on every wedding you run.

“I've been looking for help with delivery for my business, but didn't feel comfortable until I found UniHop.”

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.
By a person, not an algorithm. Wedding catering runs as Special Handling, so dispatch selects the driver for the job rather than releasing it to a marketplace queue. The venue address, service entrance, arrival window, and any handling notes go to that driver before pickup. Drivers who handle your events well are invited back, so caterers running a full season tend to see a familiar group.
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. Dispatch selects a driver 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 →
