A quotation for catering companies with per-plate pricing, menu details, staff requirements, and equipment rental.
Catering quotations need to balance detailed pricing with an appetising presentation. Clients want to know exactly what they are getting for their money, but they also want the experience to feel premium, not transactional. This template achieves both by organising the quotation into clear sections: menu (with course-by-course breakdown), service staff (waiters, chefs, supervisors), equipment and setup (tables, chairs, crockery, buffet stations, cooking equipment), and logistics (transport, delivery, on-site cooking setup). The per-plate pricing model is the most common in Indian catering, and the template calculates the total based on guaranteed guest count plus a buffer percentage for additional guests. The template supports both vegetarian and non-vegetarian menu sections with separate pricing. For large events, it includes breakdown by meal (breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, high tea) and by cuisine (Indian, Chinese, Continental, South Indian). The template handles the GST complexity in catering: outdoor catering attracts 5% GST without ITC, while catering provided at the premises of the supplier (a restaurant or banquet hall) attracts 18% with ITC or 5% without ITC. Drinks and packaged food may attract different rates.
Catering companies, event caterers, wedding caterers, corporate catering services, tiffin services for large orders, cloud kitchens providing bulk orders, and any food service business that provides catering for events, functions, or regular corporate meals.
Step 1: Enter your catering company details and FSSAI licence number. Step 2: Add the client details and event information (date, venue, type). Step 3: Build the menu with course-by-course items. Step 4: Set per-plate pricing for each menu section. Step 5: Enter expected guest count and buffer percentage. Step 6: Add staff requirements and equipment rental. Step 7: Apply the correct GST rate (5% for outdoor catering, 18% for indoor). Step 8: Add terms covering tasting, cancellation, and minimum guarantee.
Outdoor catering services attract 5% GST (without ITC) under SAC 996333 as per Notification 11/2017. Catering provided at the premises of the caterer (restaurant/banquet) attracts either 5% without ITC or 18% with ITC. Packaged food items supplied alongside catering follow their respective HSN rates. FSSAI licence is mandatory for all food catering businesses. Alcoholic beverages are outside GST (state excise) but food served with drinks is taxable.
