Billing & Management POS Software for Caterers
Manage banquet bookings, outdoor event catering quotes, per-plate pricing, advance deposit tracking, and final GST invoice generation.
Summary
This page covers billing for caterers — building per-plate event quotes that convert directly into the final GST invoice without re-entering the order.
It explains tracking advance deposits and balance payments against one booking record, including staffing or live-counter add-ons priced alongside the core menu.
Per-plate pricing & custom event quotes
Create itemized catering quotes based on per-head guest counts, live food counter add-ons, and staffing charges.
Advance deposit receipts & balance settlements
Record advance booking deposits and issue balance payment receipts upon event completion with full GST compliance.
Per-head quotes that turn into a real invoice, not a redo
A per-plate quote built for a booking becomes the actual invoice once the event happens, rather than being a separate estimate document that has to be manually rebuilt into a bill afterward.
Deposit and balance tracked against one booking
An advance deposit taken at booking and the balance collected after the event both tie back to the same event record, so there's one clear paper trail instead of two disconnected payments to match up.
Staff and live-counter add-ons priced alongside the base menu
Extra staffing or a live food counter add-on for an event quotes alongside the core per-plate pricing, so the final invoice reflects everything agreed for the event rather than needing separate line items reconciled after the fact.
One record from initial quote through to final invoice
A catering booking often changes between the initial quote and the actual event — guest count adjustments, added menu items, a last-minute staffing request. Keeping all of that against one event record means the final invoice reflects what actually happened, not just what was originally quoted.
Frequently asked questions
Can caterers issue GST tax invoices for banquet events?
Yes. Servyn generates compliant B2B GST tax invoices with custom event notes and payment terms.
Can I issue a GST invoice for a catering event after collecting an advance deposit?
Yes. The deposit and final balance both post against the same event record, and a compliant GST invoice generates once the event is settled.
Can I quote for extra staff or a live counter alongside per-plate catering pricing?
Yes. Add-ons like staffing or a live food counter can be added to a quote alongside per-head pricing, and both carry through to the final invoice.
Can I generate a formal quote document before the event is confirmed?
Yes. A per-plate quote can be created and shared before the booking is confirmed, then converted into the actual invoice once the event is settled. Nothing about the original quote needs to be re-entered when generating that invoice.
