Invoicing software for Event Catering.

Catering is a business of details — headcount changes, last-minute add-ons, deposits, final balances, and clients who need receipts for corporate expense reports. When you're running 10 or 20 events a month, invoicing each one correctly and tracking who has paid the deposit versus the final bill becomes a real management challenge.

Here is where Servicejoy fits in

• Rename tasks to match how you work. Call them "events" instead of tasks — every event in your calendar is linked to the right client, the right invoice, and the right file attachments.
• Deposit and final balance invoices. Send a deposit invoice when the booking is confirmed, then a final invoice after the event. Both are linked to the same client record.
• Attach photos to invoices. Include setup photos, menu presentations, or event shots — clients love it and it reinforces the value of what you delivered.
• Track food costs and staff expenses. Log ingredient costs, rental equipment, and casual staff fees against each event and pass them through as billable items.
• Online payment from clients. Corporate clients can pay by card directly from the invoice link — no waiting for accounts payable to cut a check.

Free to start with no card needed — most catering businesses are up and running within the hour.
