Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
How should a catering invoice handle guest numbers?
Show the confirmed guest count the price was based on, the per-head rate, and any adjustment for final numbers. Guest counts almost always move after booking, so an invoice that makes the basis of the charge explicit — and references the date numbers were confirmed — avoids the argument that follows.
How do I create and send this invoice for free?
Create a free HelloBooks account and build the invoice in the browser — no spreadsheet to download and no formatting to fix. Send it by email or WhatsApp, and HelloBooks tracks whether it was viewed and chases payment for you.
Can I add my own logo and branding?
Yes. Every HelloBooks plan, including the free tier, lets you apply your logo, colours and business details to the invoice, so what the customer receives looks like your business rather than a generic template.
