Community-first catering, verified

Never call a caterer blindly
for a gathering again.

India spends ₹10 lakh crore a year on weddings alone — most of it on food. Yet families still book catering on one 'uncle-ka-caterer' reference. Rasoyo is a cuisine-vertical platform where every Gujarati, Marwari and Punjabi caterer is master-chef certified, priced transparently, and food-safety insured — before they ever pick up your call.

And the least verified.

When you call a caterer directly, you trust a cousin's reference, one WhatsApp menu, and a handshake — for a decision that will feed 500 people, cost lakhs, and be judged for decades. Here is what the data actually says.

Ten reasons to open Rasoyo first

Before you call anyone
you will want to see this.

— 01

Cuisine authenticity, master-chef certified

Every caterer is audited by a cuisine panel of veteran chefs and community halwais before they can list. A 'Marwari caterer' on Rasoyo is actually a Marwari caterer.

→ 3 cuisines. 250+ menu templates. Zero generic North Indian.
— 02

Live, transparent per-plate pricing

See what ten verified caterers in your city charge for your menu, guest count, and date — before anyone asks for your phone number.

→ Save 12–28% vs calling a single caterer.
— 03

Food-safety insured, ₹1 Cr covered

Every Rasoyo event is backed by a food-safety insurance policy. If something goes wrong, you are not alone with an angry family and a closed phone.

Menus built with heritage halwais

Our Gujarati, Marwari and Punjabi menu libraries are co-authored with 30+ veteran head chefs and halwai thekedars.

Escrow-protected advance payment

Your booking advance sits with Rasoyo, not the caterer's pocket. Funds release on service milestones. No vanished advances.
