How does CaterCamp's catering invoice software generate invoices?

CaterCamp pulls event data — menu pricing, guest count, per-head costs, service fees, rentals, and add-ons — directly from your event record and assembles a complete, itemized invoice automatically. You review it, customize if needed, and send it to the client in seconds.

Can clients pay invoices online?

Yes. Every invoice includes a secure payment link where clients can pay via credit card or ACH bank transfer. Payments are recorded automatically in CaterCamp — no manual entry or bank reconciliation needed.

Does CaterCamp support deposit and payment schedules?

Absolutely. You can configure multi-stage payment schedules per event — for example, 50% deposit on booking, 25% one week before the event, and the final 25% after the event. CaterCamp sends automated reminders for each stage.

Can I sync CaterCamp invoices with QuickBooks or Xero?

Yes. CaterCamp integrates with popular accounting platforms so invoices, payments, and client records stay in sync. This eliminates double-entry and keeps your books accurate without extra work.

Is CaterCamp's invoicing good for small catering businesses?

CaterCamp is designed for caterers of all sizes. Solo caterers and small teams benefit from automated invoicing because it eliminates the time spent creating invoices manually, chasing payments, and tracking who owes what in spreadsheets.
