Quote Template
Losing a high-end booking because your pricing looks like a grocery receipt is a recipe for a cash flow disaster.
Conversion Tip
Clearly define a 'Final Headcount Deadline' in your quote to ensure you aren't paying for unbilled ingredients or extra staff at the last minute.
Why use a fixed quote?
Stop haggling over email. As a Caterer, a formal quote locks in your scope and allows you to demand a deposit before you start working.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I guarantee I get paid before the event starts?
Our template allows you to require a non-refundable deposit (e.g., 50%) that must be paid via Stripe to officially secure the date on your calendar.
What is the best way to handle changing guest counts?
Include a clause stating the quote is based on a specific headcount; if the count increases within 14 days of the event, the price per head automatically adjusts.
How do I prevent 'menu creep' after the quote is signed?
Itemize your specific courses and ingredients clearly in the deliverables so any requests for additional hors d'oeuvres or premium bar upgrades require a signed change order.
