A meal-prep invoice covers your cooking time, what you bought for it and any extras. In the preview, enter the cooking sessions as the number of sessions at your session fee, naming the household and the week in the description. Groceries are a separate row, entered at the total on your receipts, and containers or other extras follow below.
The tax field takes one percentage and applies it to the subtotal. Before entering a rate, find out how your state treats meal preparation and groceries.
Worked example, with sample figures: one week of meal prep covers 2 cooking sessions at $180.00, 2 × $180.00 = $360.00, groceries of 1 × $140.00 = $140.00 and containers of 1 × $20.00 = $20.00. The subtotal is $360.00 + $140.00 + $20.00 = $520.00, with no tax entered.
Grocery costs, deposits for dinner parties and payment are covered in the personal chef invoicing guide.
Why Billed fits personal chef billing
- Hold on to every grocery receipt: Billed's expenses page says "Attach the receipt when you record the expense, and it stays with that entry in your Billed account instead of in a drawer or an inbox."
- Bill weekly households on a cycle: Billed's recurring invoices page says "Choose whether to send invoices daily, weekly, monthly or yearly."
- Let a household pay by card: Billed's invoice software page says "Connect your Stripe account and every invoice you send gets a pay button, so clients can pay by card."
