What this tool does
Vendora’s invoice generator is a browser-based document builder tailored to restaurants, caterers, and food wholesalers. You lay out company branding, customer details, line items, tax and discount columns, shipping or adjustments, and payment notes, then export a polished PDF you can email or print. Saved profiles and reusable customers live in local storage so repeat catering clients or wholesale accounts load in seconds. Because everything renders live, you see exactly what guests and finance teams will read before you commit.
Who should use it
Owners billing tasting menus, cafes invoicing corporate breakfast drops, food trucks closing festival tabs, and commissary kitchens selling to retail partners all fit the workflow. It is especially helpful when you need a professional layout but are not ready for heavy accounting software. Event coordinators can duplicate past invoices for seasonal gigs, while bookkeepers appreciate consistent numbering, dates, and tax lines they can reconcile later.
How to use it
Start from the header: upload a logo, set invoice numbers and dates, and choose payment terms that match your policy. Fill Bill To with the client’s legal name and tax ID when required, then add line items with quantity, rate, tax, and discount fields as needed. Use bulk CSV import when you have long pick lists from a banquet order. Review totals, shipping, adjustments, and notes, then open PDF export. Store customer and item libraries from the Data menu so the next invoice is mostly taps instead of typing.
Example
A boutique hotel orders a $3,200 catering package with 5% service tax and a 10% deposit already paid. You enter two line items (food and staffing), apply tax only where required, note the deposit in Amount Paid, and the grand total shows the remaining balance due on delivery. Saving the hotel as a customer profile means next month’s coffee break invoice reuses addresses and tax IDs automatically.
