Catering invoice template for Canada
A Canadian catering invoice should connect the bill to the event date, venue, guest count, service style and menu. The template keeps staff, rentals, delivery, deposits and balance due clear.
Registered caterers generally charge GST/HST on taxable catering supplies. Quebec events can also require QST review.
Fields to keep in the catering template
- Caterer name, business number and GST/HST account number where applicable.
- Client or event host, company, PO, event date, venue and delivery address.
- Guest count, service style, event type, menu, drinks and staffing.
- Delivery, setup, breakdown, rentals, service charge, deposit and final balance.
- Dietary, allergen, access, loading, power, water and timing notes.
Deposits and final guest count
Show the full event charge, then apply the deposit or booking payment as a credit. If guest count changes, add a headcount adjustment line rather than silently changing the package price.
Common catering template mistakes
- Leaving out event date, venue or guest count.
- Mixing menu, staff, delivery and rentals in one line.
- Not showing deposits or final headcount adjustments.
- Omitting dietary, allergen or setup notes needed by the event team.

How do I show a catering deposit?
Show the full event charge, then list the deposit or booking payment as a credit.
