Configuring the Instant Quote Calculator

The instant quote calculator lets prospective clients get a headcount-based price estimate directly from your website — no back-and-forth required. It's ideal for food trucks, event caterers, and corporate caterers who want to capture leads and set pricing expectations before the first conversation.

Getting There

Navigate to Menus → Instant Quote to see all your quote form configurations.

Creating a New Quote Form

Click + New (the plus button) to open the creation form, then fill in the following fields:

  • Quote form name *(required)* — An internal label for your own reference, e.g. "Main website quote form."
  • Public heading *(optional)* — Text displayed above the widget on your site, e.g. "Get an instant quote." Leave blank to show no heading.
  • Service type — Restricts which event types can use this form. Choose from:
  • Any (all modes)
  • Pickup only
  • Delivery only
  • On-site / Setup
  • Guest count range — Set a Min guest count (required) and an optional Max. Guests outside this range won't receive a quote.
  • Included menus — Toggle one or more of your menus on. Only selected menus will appear in the widget.
  • Active — Uncheck to disable the form without deleting it.

Click Save when done.

Getting the Embed Code

Once saved, expand the configuration to reveal two options:

  • Website embed snippet — An <iframe> snippet you can paste into any page. Works with Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, WordPress, and plain HTML. Click Copy to copy it to your clipboard.
  • Widget URL — The direct link to the widget. Use this to preview the form or manually build your own embed.

Editing or Deleting a Form

Click the pencil icon on any configuration to edit its settings. Use the trash icon to permanently delete it. Changes to an active form take effect immediately on your website.

> Tip: Create separate quote forms for different service types (e.g. one for delivery events, one for on-site) so guests only see menus relevant to their booking.
