How it works

Three ways to order catering.
You pick what fits.

🎯Direct OrderAvailable now

You pick the restaurant. They fulfill.

Browse restaurants on Runzo, pick the one you want, choose your dishes and food quantities. Your order goes directly to the restaurant — no bidding, no waiting for quotes. Best for when you already know where you want to order from.

How it flows

  1. 1Choose a restaurant from Runzo's catering directory
  2. 2Select dishes and food quantities (ASKZO helps if you're unsure)
  3. 3Confirm headcount and delivery details
  4. 4Restaurant receives and confirms the order
  5. 5ASKZO adjusts quantities as your Gatherings RSVPs come in
📣Bidding OrderAvailable now

Post your event. Let restaurants compete.

Don't know which restaurant to pick, or want the best price? Post your catering request — guest count, cuisine, budget, date — and let multiple restaurants submit quotes. You compare and choose. ASKZO pre-screens the responses so only relevant bids reach you.

How it flows

  1. 1Describe your event: date, guests, cuisine preferences, budget
  2. 2ASKZO broadcasts your request to matching restaurants
  3. 3Restaurants submit quotes (auto-generated by ASKZO on their end)
  4. 4You review bids side-by-side with ratings and past reviews
  5. 5Confirm your choice — restaurant begins prep
🚗Driver BiddingComing soon

Choose your delivery driver too.

For large catering orders, driver selection matters. Bidding deliveries will let you post your catering delivery as a job — drivers in your area bid on it. You see their ratings, vehicle size (important for bulk orders), and estimated arrival window before confirming.

How it flows

  1. 1Your catering order includes a delivery request
  2. 2Nearby drivers with appropriate vehicles are notified
  3. 3Drivers submit their availability and rate
  4. 4You pick the driver — or ASKZO picks the best match
  5. 5Live tracking from pickup to delivery

Tray sizes

Never guess how much food to order.

ASKZO calculates exact tray quantities based on your guest count, meal type, and whether it's a standalone or multi-course event. Here's the food quantity guide it works from.

Small
6–7 guests
$50 per tray

Best for: Office lunch, small gathering

Medium
8–10 guests
$70 per tray

Best for: Birthday party, team dinner

Large
11–13 guests
$90 per tray

Best for: Corporate event, rehearsal dinner

XL
14–15 guests
$100 per tray

Best for: Wedding, large catering order

ASKZO auto-adjusts

When you link a catering order to a Gathering, ASKZO recalculates tray quantities each time an RSVP comes in. You set your initial estimate — ASKZO refines it as the real headcount forms. The restaurant sees the confirmed count before they start prep.

I need catering for 65 people. Corporate lunch, mix of Indian and Italian. Budget around $1,200. It's Friday the 18th.

Got it — 65 guests, Indian + Italian fusion, $1,200, Friday the 18th. Here's what I recommend: • Chicken Tikka Masala — 3× Large (39 ppl) • Pasta Primavera — 2× Large (26 ppl) • Garlic Naan — 2× XL (shared) • Caesar Salad — 1× XL (shared) Est. total: $1,080. That leaves $120 buffer. 3 restaurants near you can fulfill this. Want me to post a bid or direct-order from Spice Garden (4.8★, 47 catering orders)?
Post the bid, let's see what comes back.
A
Done. Bid posted to 3 matching restaurants. You'll typically see quotes within 30–45 minutes. I'll notify you when they come in and summarize them side-by-side.
