Solution for Caterers

Custom catering quotes in minutes

Manage your catering quotes and invoices.

Corporate cocktails, weddings, delivered meal trays, buffets with service, tableware hire: a caterer invoices services where French VAT changes with what's sold and how it's served. One quote can mix several rates, and a poorly broken-down quote is costly. Robi AI lets you dictate the event line by line and applies each line's rate.

Example quote: caterer

« Quote for the Lumen agency, cocktail on 12 December for 80 guests: savoury and sweet canapés, soft drinks, champagne, two waiters for four hours and glass hire. »

Alcohol on its own line: if it isn't broken down, the whole batch would take the highest rate.

The rules specific to this trade

Several VAT rates in one quote

In France, with on-site service, catering falls under 10% VAT, except alcoholic drinks, always at the standard 20%. For takeaway or delivery, dishes are generally at 5.5%, except those prepared for immediate consumption, at 10%. If you don't break it down, the highest rate applies to everything.

Questions fréquentes

In France, 10% for catering with service, and the standard 20% for alcoholic drinks, invoiced on a separate line.
Under French law they differ: with an « acompte » the order is firm; with « arrhes » either party can withdraw (the customer loses them, the business repays double). Write the chosen word on the quote. In Robi, the deposit is set by default and deducted from the balance.
Save your packages and per-guest prices in Robi's catalogue, then dictate the event: date, guests, package, drinks, staff. Robi builds the lines with their rates; you review and send with a deposit payment link.
