Invoices

Send an advance invoice, settle the rest automatically

Generate a deposit invoice straight from the quote, and the system puts the remaining balance on the final invoice for you.

For a big event you want part of the money up front. An advance invoice secures the booking and your cash flow, and Catermonkey keeps the maths straight so the final invoice is never double-charged or short.

  • Create an advance invoice from the order as a fixed amount or a percentage
  • Secure a deposit before you commit to costs
  • The final invoice automatically deducts what was paid in advance
  • No manual tracking of deposits in a spreadsheet
  • Advance and final invoices both tie back to the order and your bookkeeping

A deposit in a couple of clicks

From a confirmed order, generate an advance invoice for a fixed amount or a percentage of the total. The customer gets a proper invoice to pay, and you've locked in the commitment before you buy a single ingredient.

The balance takes care of itself

When the event is done, the final invoice automatically subtracts what was already paid in advance. No spreadsheet to remember the deposit, no awkward over- or under-charging, just the remaining balance, clearly shown.

Clean books, start to finish

Both the advance and the final invoice link back to the same order and flow into your bookkeeping export. Your accountant sees a tidy trail from deposit to settlement.
