Café invoice template and a free websiteYour till looks after the counter. The jobs that need an invoice are the others: a platter order for an office, coffee for a meeting, the back room booked for a birthday. goud.work makes those quick on your phone, and gives the café a free page with your menu and photos, at its own address with a QR code for the window.

Easy Invoice offers Catering order, Platter, Coffee counted per item, Delivery and Room hire. An office that orders lunch every Friday gets the same lines each week, and after a few invoices Easy Invoice offers them with your last prices. Send the customer a quote for a big order, turn it into the invoice in one tap, and email it to their accounts team. Mark it paid when the transfer lands.
In Easy Invoice these are a tap each, and after a few invoices your own lines come first, with the last price you charged.
Your page leads with photos of the food and the counter, then the menu with prices. Contact details and social links sit near the top so people can call ahead. Reviews come next, and the notice banner tells everyone about bank holiday closing. The Book button takes requests for catering orders and room hire, which you approve. Add the postcode and how far you deliver.
If you're VAT registered, hot takeaway food and food eaten in are standard rated. Much cold food to take away is zero rated, but sweets, crisps and soft drinks are not. The rules have odd corners, so HMRC's guide on catering and takeaway food is worth reading.
Put each part on its own line: the platters, the coffee counted per item, and delivery. Add the date and the name of the person who ordered. Offices often pay by bank transfer within a set number of days, so your bank details on the invoice matter. A reminder goes out if it runs late.
Many cafés do, either as a flat fee or as a minimum spend for the group. Put Room hire on the quote so the customer knows before the day. If you drop it when they spend enough, say so on the quote. A clear line now saves an awkward talk at the till.
