Frequently Asked Questions
How do I ensure I get paid for extra hours if the party goes over the scheduled time?
Using a digital invoice allows you to adjust the 'Overtime Service' line item on your phone instantly. You can present the updated total to the client and collect a credit card payment on the spot before you break down the bar.
What is the best way to handle clients who forget to tip at private events?
Digital invoicing helps you avoid the 'tip jar' awkwardness by allowing you to include a transparent 'Service Fee' or 'Guaranteed Gratuity' line item in your initial quote, ensuring your take-home pay is locked in regardless of the host's memory.
How can I prevent last-minute cancellations from hurting my income?
A digital invoice system lets you automate deposit collection. By requiring an upfront payment through the platform, you ensure that the client is financially committed, and you have cash in hand even if they decide to cancel the gig.
