Vendors we pick

A short list of vendors who proved it first.

We do not list anyone who pays. A person checks each vendor before they can call you. We keep about 10 per trade in each area.

Before they join

What we ask of every vendor.

  • Good reviews

    We ask for 4.5 stars on Google from 10 or more reviews. A new business can get in with strong work we looked at.

  • Proof of real work

    Real parties they did, not stock photos. A person looks at it.

  • Permits where the law asks

    Caterers show their food permit. We track the date it runs out.

  • A few per service

    About 10 vendors per service in each area, so each one gets enough calls to care.

Permits are tracked to the day.

Caterers show the food permit their local health authority asks for. We keep the expiry date on file.

  • A reminder goes out 30 days before.
  • A week after it lapses, new calls stop until a new one is in.

After they join

Staying on the list.

Every call gets rated.

Two days after a call we ask the customer: did you speak with them? Then: how was it, from 1 to 5?

  • Vendors rate the customer too.
  • Low-rated vendors are paused.
  • Ratings stay private.

  • You rate every vendor

    Two days after your call we ask on WhatsApp: did you speak with them? Then: how was it, from 1 to 5?

  • Vendors rate the calls too

    Vendors tell us if the customer was real. It keeps things fair for both sides.

  • Low ratings mean a pause

    If a vendor’s ratings drop, we pause them before they get another call.

What we do, and what we don’t

We connect you. The vendor does the work.

The vendor runs their own business. Your deal for the party is with them. If something goes wrong, tell us anyway: it counts toward their rating, and we act on it.

Are you a vendor?

Apply in 2 minutes. We reply within 72 hours. We say yes only when there is room in your trade and area.
