This catering website design service builds websites for daily caterers, office and event caterers, cake shops, and home frozen food makers. Each site answers what people ordering food always ask. Menus and packages, price per portion, minimum order, order deadline, and delivery area sit together in one place. Orders arrive on WhatsApp with the message already filled in, or through a form that goes to your email. I handle the work myself as a website engineer and technical lead.
It suits caterers selling boxed meals (nasi kotak) and tumpeng, the cone-shaped rice platters served at celebrations. It also fits office caterers on subscription, wedding caterers, home bakeries, and small frozen food producers. A shopping cart, online payment, and a cashier app are not part of the default package. The website works as your catalog and as the door customers use to order.
In short
- Menus and packages with price per portion, minimum order, and order lead time, all of which you change yourself.
- An ordering page that covers the delivery area, delivery fee, deposit, and when the balance is due.
- Food permits shown by product type: the Food Hygiene and Sanitation Label (Label HSP) or SLHS for catering, PIRT for cakes and cookies that keep, and a BPOM registration number for frozen food.
- Halal status that matches your certificate, with non-halal dishes clearly marked.
- A one-time build fee. The only recurring costs are the domain, plus a server if you pick one, and malware cleanup is free for 3 months.
- First step: tell me about your catering business through the form on the homepage.
Catering customers want certainty before they send the first message
People who order catering usually have a deadline. It might be an office meeting tomorrow at noon, a thanksgiving gathering (syukuran) on Sunday, or a Quran study evening for a hundred guests. They open several caterers at once and want to know fast whether the menu fits and the price sits inside the budget. They also check whether they can reach the minimum order and whether their address is in the delivery area.
The caterer who puts all of that on the website gets the message first, because the customer does not have to wait for a reply to four basic questions.
Offices and schools add a fifth question: is the kitchen certified? In 2025 and 2026 the government made the Hygiene and Sanitation Worthiness Certificate (SLHS) compulsory for SPPG kitchens, the kitchens that cook for the Free Nutritious Meals program (Makan Bergizi Gratis). Since then the term SLHS has become familiar well beyond the catering trade. Corporate buyers now ask about it more often.
The right food permit for each kind of product
Plenty of catering websites display a PIRT number, even though catering does not use one. PIRT is the home-industry food production certificate (SPP-IRT). BPOM Regulation 4/2024, which revoked BPOM Regulation 22/2018, says this certificate is not required for ready-to-eat food or for food with a shelf life of less than seven days. Boxed meals, buffets, and daily catering all fall into that group.
Catering is regulated through a different route. Hukumonline summarizes Government Regulation 28/2025 this way. Micro and small caterers need a business identification number (NIB), a standard certificate, and the Food Hygiene and Sanitation Label, while medium and large ones need an SLHS. Cookies or cakes that keep for more than seven days at room temperature can use PIRT. Frozen food such as nuggets, dim sum, or frozen meatballs cannot use PIRT and needs a BPOM marketing authorization (izin edar), as RRI explained while citing BPOM, the national food and drug authority.
Catering websites I build show the permit number that fits each product, on the page that actually sells that product. Where a product carries a BPOM registration, its page links to Cek BPOM so buyers can look it up themselves. I am not a food licensing consultant, so the type of permit and its number come from you.
Office catering sits in a class of its own
Health Ministry Regulation 2/2023, which replaced Regulation 1096/2011, sorts catering businesses into classes. Class A serves up to 750 portions a day. Class B covers caterers above 750 portions a day, plus those meeting special needs such as companies, dormitories, and hospitals, whatever the number of portions.
So a caterer that supplies offices deserves a page just for that work. It lists daily portion capacity, the certificates you hold, how subscription orders run, and kitchen visits if you offer them. Procurement staff comparing suppliers then get their answers without asking for documents over chat.
An honest halal status, micro businesses included
From 18 October 2026, food and drink from micro and small businesses must also be halal certified. The phase-in period under Government Regulation 42/2024 closes on 17 October 2026. On 9 October 2026 the Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) stated there would be no postponement. It is also preparing special provisions that make the process easier for micro and small businesses.
On the website, the halal logo and certificate number appear only after the certificate has been issued. Anyone can check that number through the search on the BPJPH site. Dishes made with pork or other haram ingredients are exempt from certification. Even so, Article 26 of Law 33/2014 requires them to carry a non-halal statement. The website marks those dishes item by item, so nobody orders the wrong one by mistake.
Be careful with health claims
Words like "healthy", "no preservatives", or "low sugar" sound appealing, but they carry consequences. Article 10 of BPOM Regulation 4/2024 says food that carries a claim cannot use PIRT. Article 9 of Law 8/1999 on consumer protection bans promotion that makes a product look as if it meets a quality standard when it does not. On catering websites I build, each dish is described by its ingredients and how it is cooked. Claims nobody can prove yet stay off the page.
How to order: minimum order, lead time, delivery area, deposit
The ordering page takes the place of a shopping cart. It states the minimum order for each package and how many days ahead an order must come in. It lists the districts or cities you deliver to with their delivery fees, the size of the deposit, and when the balance falls due. You decide all of this and keep it current yourself through the panel.
An "Order on WhatsApp" button on every package opens a chat with the package name, event date, number of portions, and delivery address already typed in. Office orders and large events get a short form that lands in your email. The form never makes allergies or health conditions a required field. Under Law 27/2022, health information counts as specific personal data, so those questions are better handled in chat.
Ordering through chat and email costs the least and matches how catering customers behave, since they nearly always want to ask something first. An online store with online payment only makes sense once you have at least one admin and chat can no longer keep up. Frozen food shipped to many cities every day is one example. That kind of store costs far more to build and to look after, so there is no reason to hurry. I describe the middle path between the two in the article on catalog stores with WhatsApp orders.
The same menu on your website and Google Maps
Google Business Profile has a menu editor for food and drink businesses, plus a menu link that can point to a page on your website. Boxed meal or tumpeng packages can also be listed as services with prices. Websites I build match the name, address, opening hours, and menu with that profile, so Google and AI assistants show the same details.
A package page that answers one need clearly is also easy for AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and Perplexity to quote. Picture someone asking for "boxed meal catering in Bekasi, minimum 30 portions, can be ordered two days ahead".
Fast on phones, with food photos that still make people hungry
Food photos are what pull customers in, and they are also the usual reason a catering website loads slowly. Photos you upload through the panel are prepared automatically, so they stay sharp without weighing down a phone. Menu pages are targeted to pass Core Web Vitals on phones and laptops alike. This site follows a similar approach and logged a Lighthouse mobile score of 94 on 12 October 2026. Your catering website can go through the same tool.
Tracking if your catering business runs ads
You may advertise before Ramadan, during wedding season, or near the end of the year. In that case, tracking can focus on the actions that really count: a press of the WhatsApp order button, a sent office order form, or a visit to one package page. Tags come from your own ad account and switch on only after the visitor agrees. If you do not advertise, the website carries no trackers at all.
Catering website security, with free malware cleanup for 3 months
A hacked catering website can swap your WhatsApp number for a scammer's, who then asks your customers to pay the deposit. It can also fill the menu page with gambling ads. Websites I build are protected to the same standard as this site, which earned an A+ on securityheaders.com and Mozilla HTTP Observatory on 12 October 2026. You are free to run those same tools on the result. I leave the methods off public pages on purpose, because intruders read them too.
For 3 months after launch, I remove any malware that gets into the website at no charge. That period is written on your proof of payment, and other packages run anywhere from 1 to 6 months. The work covers deleting the malicious code, restoring files from the latest backup, and closing the weak spot found in the website I handed over. What you get is a cleanup service, not compensation.
When that period is over, cleanup is billed as new work, and a heavy case can reach tens of millions of rupiah. The guarantee does not apply to shared passwords, infected devices, or changes made by someone else. Outages at the server or domain provider you chose are excluded too, as are components left outdated after the guarantee ends without renewal. The details are on the terms page. I can stand behind this guarantee because cleaning malware off websites is part of my everyday work.
Cost: paid once, with light yearly costs
A catering or cake shop website is paid for once, across a few stages, with a written breakdown at the start. Once it is live, you keep paying only for the domain, and for a server if you decide to have one. A menu website that takes orders on WhatsApp rarely needs a monthly server. Nobody takes a cut of your orders.
Support after handover is optional. It covers fixes and component updates when you need them, along with limited help. Menus, prices, minimum orders, and delivery areas are yours to change. Later you might want a Ramadan menu page, a wedding catering page, or an English version. I build those additions under a special offer that costs less than starting a new project.
Ready to use in your business name, with source code as an option
Your business receives a ready-to-use website. That means the built files running on your domain, the domain and accounts in the owner's name, a panel for editing the menu, and handover documents. You can take it to whichever hosting provider you like. Should you ever switch to another manager, my access is revoked and the catering website carries on running.
Source code, meaning the project files used to rebuild the website or change its structure, is left out of the default package. For a caterer, that keeps the price down. Your menu stays in your hands through the panel, and my support applies to the exact version I delivered. Buying the source code is worth it if your business has an IT team or plans its own ordering app. It is priced separately and costs much more. Sometimes it cannot be sold at all because of licensed components, and the offer tells you which case applies.
For catering: AI on your own, an unclear agency, a free template, or an engineer?
| Consideration | Building it yourself with AI | An agency with no clear accountability | A free hosting template | Built by an engineer (this service) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food permits | May write "PIRT certified" for boxed meals | Depends | No place for them | Matched to the product type, with a check link where available |
| Menu and minimum order | Edited by hand | Changed on request by the agency | Often a photo or a PDF | Changed by you through the panel |
| How customers order | Sometimes adds a cart you do not need yet | Sells a payment system | Built-in form that attracts spam | WhatsApp message filled in automatically, plus an office order form |
| Security | Nobody watches it | Not tested | Updated together with thousands of other sites | Tested with public tools, 3 months of free cleanup |
| Ownership | Yours, maintained by you | The domain may sit in the agency's name | Locked to the hosting | Domain and accounts in your business name |
| Yearly costs | AI tool and builder subscriptions | Monthly retainer | Free until you need a feature | The domain, plus a server if chosen |
AI can write a mouth-watering catering page, complete with "100% healthy, no preservatives", even though a claim like that has licensing consequences. I covered other risks of unchecked AI-built websites in the online store case. An agency where nobody can say who does the work often sells order and payment systems that a home caterer does not need yet. A free template from your hosting company is good enough for a one-page listing with your address. It was never designed for packaged menus with minimum orders and delivery areas.
If your business needs daily order management, ingredient stock, and delivery in one app, go to a provider of dedicated software. The website I build can simply link to it.
Who is behind this catering website design service?
I run this catering website design service myself. My name is Dicky Ibrohim. I work as a website engineer and technical lead, and the about page tells the longer story. Day to day I build websites and apps, repair broken ones, and clean up those hit by malware, and thousands of cases have passed through my hands. AI helps with the repetitive parts. I then test the result myself, which includes tapping the order button on every package from a phone until the chat opens.
I am not a nutritionist or a food licensing consultant. The menu, prices, permit types and numbers, and halal status come from you. Material from me is licensed, and material from you is guaranteed by you.
Process: from your package list to a live catering website
- Tell me about your business through the form on the homepage: what you sell, your city, your delivery area, and whether you serve offices.
- I send a written offer within one or two working days of your message. It sets out the pages to build, the schedule, the payment stages, whether a server is needed, the malware guarantee period, and where support stops.
- A short interview about menus and packages, minimum orders, delivery areas, permits, halal status, and the questions customers send most.
- Text and design: I prepare them and you check them, the menu, ordering, and permit pages above all.
- Testing on phone and laptop: the WhatsApp order button and the office order form are tried until the messages arrive, and the menu is lined up with your Google Business Profile.
- Launch, after which you receive the access, the ownership documents, and a guide to updating the menu.
What you need to prepare
- Business name, kitchen address or service area, WhatsApp number, and the email that receives orders.
- Your menu and package list with price per portion and minimum order.
- Order deadline, delivery area, delivery fee, deposit, and balance payment terms.
- Food permits for each product type and the status of your halal certificate.
- Food photos, if you want them on the site.
Eight questions to ask before choosing someone to build your catering website
- Can I change the menu, prices, and minimum order myself? (Yes, through the panel.)
- Does the WhatsApp order button already include the package, date, and number of portions? (Yes.)
- Which permits are shown for catering, cakes, and frozen food? (Whatever fits each product, supplied by you.)
- How is halal status written? (According to the certificate actually issued; non-halal dishes are marked one by one.)
- Who owns the domain and accounts? (Your business.)
- What if malware finds its way into the website? (For 3 months after launch, as written on the proof of payment, I clean it up without charging you.)
- Which costs recur? (Only the domain, plus a server if you choose one; support is up to you.)
- Can an office catering page or a seasonal menu be added later? (Yes, under a special offer.)
First step: send me your menu and package list
Customers pick the caterer whose menu is clear, whose minimum order and delivery area are written down, whose permits fit the product, and who takes an order in one message. A website that holds all of that, and stays easy to update every season, is what this catering website design service is built to deliver.
Tell me about your catering, cake, or frozen food business through the form on the homepage, or email hello@dickyibrohim.com. I will send back a proposed page structure, the cost, and an estimated launch date.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a catering website cost?
The build is paid once, in a few stages, with a written breakdown. After launch, the recurring cost is the domain, and a server only if you pick one; support is not mandatory. The figure depends on how many menus, packages, and pages you need. I send it once you tell me about your business through the form on the homepage.
Does a boxed meal caterer need PIRT?
No. BPOM Regulation 4/2024 says the home-industry food production certificate (SPP-IRT, usually called PIRT) is not required for ready-to-eat food or for food with a shelf life under seven days. Caterers use the Food Hygiene and Sanitation Label at micro and small scale, or an SLHS at medium and large scale, according to Hukumonline's summary of Government Regulation 28/2025.
Is PIRT enough for frozen food, or does it need BPOM registration?
Frozen food such as nuggets, dim sum, or frozen meatballs cannot use PIRT and needs a BPOM marketing authorization (izin edar), because its production and distribution call for special handling. The website shows the registration number with a link to Cek BPOM.
Must a home caterer be halal certified from 18 October 2026?
Yes. The phase-in period for halal certification of food and drink from micro and small businesses ends on 17 October 2026, and BPJPH has said there will be no postponement. Dishes made from haram ingredients are exempt, but they must carry a non-halal statement.
How do the rules treat ordinary catering and office catering differently?
Health Ministry Regulation 2/2023 puts caterers that serve companies, dormitories, or hospitals in class B, whatever their portion count. The office catering page on the website covers portion capacity, certificates, and how subscription orders work.
Can catering orders come in through WhatsApp alone?
Yes, and for most caterers that is the most practical route. The button on each package opens a chat that already lists the package, date, number of portions, and address. An online store with online payment only becomes worth it once chat can no longer handle the orders.
May I write "healthy" or "no preservatives" on the menu?
Take care. Under BPOM Regulation 4/2024, food that carries a claim cannot use PIRT, and Article 9 of Law 8/1999 bans untrue promotion. The website describes ingredients and cooking methods instead of claims that cannot yet be proven.
How do I show my catering menu on Google Maps?
Use the menu editor in Google Business Profile, together with a menu link that points to a page on your website. Boxed meal or tumpeng packages can also be listed in the profile as services with prices.
Do I receive the source code?
By default you get a ready-to-use website on your business domain, with a panel and handover documents, and it can be moved to any hosting. Source code is a separate option that costs more and is not always available; its status is written in the offer.
What if my catering website gets malware?
Cleanup is free for 3 months from launch, as recorded on the proof of payment; other packages give 1 to 6 months. The guarantee is a cleanup service rather than compensation. Its scope and exclusions are on the terms page.
