Catering company receipt FAQ
Do I charge sales tax on catering work?
Most US states tax parts/materials but exempt labor. Use Glo Invoice's per-line tax toggle so each catering line item is taxed correctly. Check your state — a few (HI, NM, SD, WV) tax services too.
Service charge vs tip?
Service charge = your overhead; tip = staff. Disclose both.
Tasting?
Quote separately — $50–$200/couple credit toward booking.
