Cook what you want. Charge what it's worth.
Caterers, private chefs, food trucks, bartenders — XLNT is a local marketplace for live events. Share what you make and get found by the people planning gatherings near you.
You buy the food, book the hands, and load the van before anyone has confirmed. Headcounts shrink the week of, organizers go quiet, and the turnout decides whether you ate the cost.

Serve a committed room
Headcount locked, seats named, menu shaped. No shrinkage Wednesday, no empty lot.
