Contract Meals for Canteen and Hostel Caterers
Record daily head counts for canteen and hostel contracts by site. Counts are billed monthly with GST, and the TDS a client deducts is recorded against the receipt.
Contracts kept apart from events
Office canteens and hostels run on daily counts, not on one dated function. Each contract holds its sites, its meals and its agreed rates. Contract work therefore sits beside the event order book, with its own screens for counts and billing, without crowding the wedding and function orders. A caterer who runs both can read weddings and contracts together when that helps. Billing differs too.
From the daily count to the invoice
Who works on it
- Site supervisors enter the day’s counts for their own site.
- Accounts assistants raise the monthly invoice and record the receipt.
- Owners read contract invoices and the GST summary for the month.
- The head cook sees quantities for the day where the kitchen cooks from one place.
What is agreed during scoping
Frequently asked questions
Can several sites sit under one client?
Yes. Counts are kept by site and billed together or separately, as each contract reads and as the client wants the invoice presented.
Does the invoice carry GST?
Yes. The monthly invoice is raised with GST, and the GST summary for the month can be downloaded.
Where is the TDS deducted by the client recorded?
Against the receipt for that invoice. The balance then reflects what the client actually paid.
Is it meant for restaurants billing table by table?
No. A restaurant point of sale fits that work better. This module is for catering contracts on daily head counts.
