What to Include on a Restaurant Invoice

Restaurant Catering Pricing Models

Restaurants typically invoice catering in one of these ways:

1) Per-guest packages
Fixed price per guest for a set menu. Easiest for planning and billing.

2) À la carte
Itemized trays/platters and menu items by quantity. Works well for office catering.

3) Consumption-based beverage
Alcoholic or beverage service billed by consumption or a package rate.

4) Hybrid
Per-guest food plus separate staffing, rentals, and logistics.

Your invoice template should reflect the model you use and make guest counts and packages easy to verify.

Deposits and Final Guest Counts

Guest counts and deposits are a common source of invoice adjustments.

Best practices
  • Invoice based on estimated guest count
  • Add a “Final guest count” field to confirm pricing
  • Show deposits as credit line items
  • State when final guest count is due (e.g., 7 days prior)
If your pricing changes when guest count changes, keep it clear in terms to avoid surprises.

Service Charges, Staffing, and Event Add-Ons

Full-service events often include staffing and extra charges beyond food.

Common add-ons
  • Servers/bartenders (hours × rate)
  • Service charge or gratuity policy
  • Setup and cleanup fees
  • Rentals (linens, tableware)
  • On-site cooking stations
Itemizing staffing and rentals helps clients understand why full-service costs more than drop-off catering.
