What FeastMatch is

FeastMatch introduces event organisers to independent catering businesses and holds payment between them. The catering contract is between the organiser and the caterer. FeastMatch is not the caterer, does not cook, and does not supervise the event.

Messaging

Messaging between an organiser and a matched caterer is free and unlimited. Caterers are not charged to receive, read or reply to a brief.

Payment and escrow

When an organiser accepts a quote, they pay the full amount to FeastMatch through Stripe. FeastMatch holds those funds and does not pay the caterer at that point.

Funds are released to the caterer, less commission of 10%, once both the organiser and the caterer have confirmed the event was completed. Either party may instead raise a dispute, which freezes the booking. Disputed funds are not released or refunded automatically; a person reviews the booking.

Where an event is cancelled before release, the held amount is refunded to the organiser and FeastMatch takes no commission. Cancellation terms between the organiser and the caterer are a matter for their own agreement.

Caterer obligations

Caterers are responsible for their own food hygiene registration, allergen information, insurance and licensing. FeastMatch displays what a caterer states about itself and does not independently verify it.

Acceptable use

Do not use the message system to take the transaction off-platform in order to avoid commission, to send abusive content, or to contact people about anything other than the brief at hand. Accounts doing so may be removed.

Liability

Nothing here limits liability for death, personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud. Otherwise, FeastMatch's liability for any booking is limited to the amount it held for that booking.

Prototype status

This deployment is a prototype. Caterer listings shown as sample data are not real businesses and cannot be booked in earnest.
