How quote requests work
A planner found your cart on Coffee Cart Directory and asked for a quote. You are listed for free: no commission, no fee per lead, and nothing to sign. Here is what a request holds and what to do with it.
What you get
An email with the time to reply by at the top, the event in one line, the planner's details and how they would like to hear from you, then everything they told us: the date, guests, hours, drinks, venue, power, budget and their notes.
What to do, within 24 hours
1
Check your calendar
The date is at the top of the request. If you can't do it, say so, so nobody is left waiting.
2
Send your price
Use Send my quote in the email, or reply to the planner directly. Your reply goes straight to them.
3
Reach them the way they asked
Each request says whether the planner prefers email, a text or a call, and the best time. A text when they asked for one gets read.
Planners usually book one of the first carts to reply. How quickly carts answer will count in how the directory orders them, and carts that keep missing a day lose Verified by LocalEyes when we check again.
What a good quote includes
Your price for this event
For their guest count and hours, not a starting price.
What's included

Whether the date is open
