Catering Order Form

Take catering orders from one link: what each customer wants and how many, when they need it, pickup or delivery, the headcount and the occasion. Upload your menu as a PDF, photo or link and its dishes become the order form, with prices. Customers see a running total, and once you connect Stripe they pay a 50% deposit at the end. Results add up each order's total and the kitchen's prep list for each day.
