Common Problems
Every event has a different menu, guest count, and price
Catering invoices are complex — per-head pricing, different menu packages, beverage add-ons, service staff charges, and advance adjustments. Manual calculation leads to errors.
Advance adjustments are confusing in final billing
Tracking booking advances, incremental charges for guest count changes, and final settlements across multiple WhatsApp conversations is a recipe for disputes.
Corporate clients need GST invoices
Companies booking corporate lunches, team dinners, or event catering need a proper GST invoice with GSTIN and SAC code for their accounts team. A hand-written bill won't do.
GST rate for catering is confusing
Catering services can attract 5% GST (without ITC) or 18% GST (with ITC) depending on the service. Getting this wrong creates compliance issues.
How Ozydo Helps
Per-Head and Package Billing
Create line items for 'Veg Lunch Package × 150 persons at ₹350 each' or fixed 'Wedding Buffet Package' with add-ons. Any combination of per-unit and fixed pricing.
Advance Payment Tracking
Record the booking advance separately. The invoice automatically shows Total, Advance Paid, and Balance Due — making final settlement crystal clear for both parties.
WhatsApp Invoice in One Tap
Send the final catering bill directly on WhatsApp as a PDF with your business logo, UPI QR code, and payment terms. Clients pay the balance instantly.
GST at 5% or 18% — Your Choice
Ozydo lets you set 5% GST (composition/no ITC) or 18% GST (with ITC input credit) per line item. Choose the rate appropriate for your catering business registration.
Multiple Events — Clean Records
Each catering event is a separate invoice. Your dashboard shows all upcoming, paid, and outstanding events at a glance — no more tracking through WhatsApp chats.
Client Signature on Estimate
Share a catering estimate (menu, per-head rate, advance terms) and get the client's digital signature before the event. Prevents last-minute disputes about what was agreed.
GST for Caterers
Catering services are taxed at 5% GST without ITC (if you do not want to claim input credits) or 18% with ITC (if you want to claim GST paid on raw materials, equipment, etc.). Most small caterers choose 5% as it simplifies compliance. SAC code for catering/food supply services is 996334. If you supply food through a restaurant or canteen under a contract, different rates may apply — consult your CA.

Convert the estimate to an invoice after the event. Add any extra charges for last-minute guest additions, extra items, or overtime. The balance due calculates automatically.
