Euqin: Catering Ordering for WooCommerce

Апісанне

Stop taking catering orders over the phone.

Euqin is a free catering order form for WooCommerce. It changes how you take catering orders.

Your customers plan their event on your website. Then they send you a full request. No checkout. No payment up front.

Every request tells you what you need to know: the event date and time, the guest count, the menu, the serving style, and delivery or pickup.

Your customers plan the whole event in four easy steps:

  • Pick the date, the time and the occasion.
  • Say how many guests are coming.
  • Choose dishes from your menu and watch the total grow.
  • Add serving style, delivery or pickup, and a note.

One clear request. Nothing to copy. Nothing to chase. You confirm it first. Payment comes later.

Your customers will love it too

They see your menu, your prices and the delivery fee before they send anything. No waiting two days just to learn the price. No surprise bill.

Catering is not shopping

A wedding for 80 guests is not a cart and a checkout button. It needs a date, a head count and a menu that fits.

WooCommerce was built for shopping. Euqin makes it work for catering.

Catering software you own. No monthly fee. No commission.

Features

Часта задаваныя пытанні

Is Euqin really free?

Yes. The event planner, menu, delivery, emails and order statuses are all free. There is no limit on orders. Euqin Pro is an optional extra plugin.

Do customers pay when they send a request?

No. They send a request, not a payment. You check it and confirm it first. Then you ask for payment your own way.

Does it use the WooCommerce cart and checkout?

No. Euqin has its own event planner. But every request becomes a normal WooCommerce order. So you manage it where you manage everything else.

Can I use it with Elementor or other page builders?

Yes. It works with any theme and any page builder. In Elementor, use the Shortcode widget and add [euqin_event_planner].

Can I put a small order form on my homepage?

Yes. Add [euqin_quick_start] to any page. Customers enter the date, time and guest count right there. Then they move to the full planner, and those details are already filled in.

Can I limit delivery to my own area?

Yes. Add the postcodes you deliver to. Then choose what happens outside your area. You can stop the request or allow it. Either way, customers see your own message.

Can customers still order last minute?

You decide how much notice you need. When an event is very soon, Euqin shows the customer your phone number and sends you an urgent alert.

Does it work for restaurants that also cater?

Yes. Your shop keeps working as normal. Euqin adds catering on top of it.

Is it translation ready?

Yes. Every text in Euqin can be translated.

What does Euqin Pro add?

A photo catalog view, kitchen print sheets, PDF invoices, delivery zones with their own fees, and a minimum order size. You can learn more at euqin.com.
