Cost guides

What it costs, where we know.

A price band appears here only when at least 5 real quotes from 3 different caterers sit behind it, none older than 18 months. Everywhere else, this site says so and publishes nothing.

Published · gate open

Bands we have earned.

Interquartile range of real quotes, so one outlier can't widen it. It is not a quote, and your brief may land outside it.

Not published · gate closed

Pages that say “not yet.”

These render, because they are useful destinations for paid search. They carry no price, emit noindex, and stay out of the sitemap and llms.txt until the evidence arrives.

In the seeded corpus behind this build, 13 of 192 cuisine × town cells clear the gate. Three cells are built out here as examples. Seeded sample corpus · not live trading.

Why not just publish 192 pages? Because a page that guesses at a price band is worth less than no page at all — it is the thin-content failure mode, published at scale, with the domain's reputation attached. The gate is the product decision, not a technical limitation.
