What is a Caterer invoice?

A caterer invoice documents the services you delivered and the payment terms your client must follow. Use it to clearly show scope, dates, and totals so clients pay on time without disputes.

When do caterers need an invoice?

Send an invoice after each completed milestone, at the end of a service call, or on a recurring schedule. Include change orders, rush fees, or retainers whenever they apply so clients see the full picture before paying.
