## The prompt

```text
I run [YOUR BUSINESS, e.g. a family dumpling restaurant] and I want to start a catering offer for offices and events. Here's my menu with prices: [YOUR MENU AND PRICES]. Please do four things. 1) Build a catering menu with three packages for groups of 10, 25 and 50, using my real dishes and prices, and show it as a one-page website in a single HTML code block with my business name and a clear Request a quote button. 2) Search the web for 15 businesses within [YOUR AREA RADIUS, e.g. 5 km of my shop] that likely order catering, such as offices, schools and event venues, and list only their public website or contact page. 3) Give me a tracker table with columns for business, contact page, date contacted, reply and next step. 4) Write a short, personal intro note for each one that mentions something specific about them. Keep everything warm and local, not salesy.
