FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

Does it work for buffets and plated dinners?

Yes. Set portions per guest per dish; a buffet usually has more dishes at smaller portions.

Can I show the client three menu options?

Yes. The proposal template has Classic, Signature and Premium columns; price each from a copy of the Menu sheet.

Does it handle tax on service charges?

It applies tax to the subtotal plus service charge. If your local rules differ, change the Quote formula or the tax setting.

PayPal, or a debit/credit card through PayPal's checkout where PayPal offers guest checkout. You can also pay with Bitcoin (on-chain).
