Chef and Caterer Profile Page in Greece: What to Set Up

What your profile page should show

Your Websta profile is a page that lists the services you offer, the areas you cover, photos of your work, and your contact details. Unlike a social media post, it stays up and works as a single point where people find you and book or request a quote. You control what appears on the page and what you charge.

The profile has a section for your services. Write down what you do: catering for weddings, corporate events, private dinners, menu design, food preparation for events, or whatever matches your work. Keep the description short and clear so people understand what they can book from you.

Add photos of finished dishes, event setups, or meals you have prepared. Real photos of your work matter more than generic images. People want to see the standard of food and presentation they will get.

Include a section with the areas you cover in Greece. You might work across one region, several regions, or travel nationwide depending on the size of the event. Be honest about where you can take jobs so customers do not contact you about places you cannot reach.

Booking and quote requests

Your profile has a contact form where customers can get in touch. You decide whether to offer online booking slots for standard packages or to ask customers to request a quote first. Many chefs and caterers in Greece ask for a quote because each event is different - the number of guests, menu type, venue, and date all affect the offer.

If you offer online booking, set clear details: what day and time slots you can take, what the package includes, and how many people it covers. For custom work, a quote request form works better because you can discuss the menu, dietary needs, and exact costs before agreeing.

Photos and presentation

Take photos of finished meals, plated food, table setups, or events you have catered. Customers choose based on what they see. Photos do not need professional editing but should show your food and work clearly. Include a few images that represent the style of catering you do most often.

Languages for your profile

Write your profile in Greek and English. Most people in Greece who search for catering services use Greek, but English helps you reach expats, tourists, and international clients who may need catering for events in Greece. You can add both languages on your Websta profile.

How customers find chefs and caterers in Greece

People in Greece search for catering services on the Websta marketplace by entering the type of service (such as 'catering' or 'chef') and their location. The marketplace is at /marketplace/food. Customers can also post a task describing what they need - the type of event, number of guests, date, and location - and providers can make offers on that task.

Customers look by town and region, so make sure your profile clearly states which areas you serve. If you work nationwide for larger events, say that. Local searches are common for weddings, family celebrations, and small corporate events.

Setting up as an independent provider in Greece

Before you create a Websta profile, confirm your business registration and tax status with the Greek tax authority and local authority where you work. Requirements for catering and food preparation vary by region and the size of your operation. Check whether you need a food handler's license, kitchen certification, or other permits to prepare food for customers.

If you work as a sole trader or own a small catering business, you will need a business registration number. Card payments from customers through Websta are transferred to your own bank account via Stripe, so you will need a Greek bank account and to keep records of all payments for tax purposes.

Speak with a local accountant or your regional chamber of commerce to understand what you must register, what permits apply to food preparation, insurance requirements, and how to report income. Rules differ between regions, so do not rely on general advice.

What to write in your first hour

Start by writing a short description of what you do: the types of events you cater, the cuisine you specialize in, and the size of groups you typically serve. Write in plain language so customers understand immediately whether you match what they need.

List your main services: catering for weddings, corporate events, private parties, menu planning, or specialized diets. Keep it simple. You can add more detail later.

Note the areas or regions you cover. If you work in Attica, the Peloponnese, or other regions, mention them clearly.

Add a contact email or phone number and say how you prefer customers to reach you - through the form, by phone, or by email.

Upload at least three to five photos of your work. If you do not have photos yet, take some before you launch the profile.

Set up payment through Stripe so customers can pay by card when they book or after you agree on a quote.
