Service is applied to the full subtotal; tax is applied after service. Both start at zero—enter the rates from your quote.
How this tool works
Multiply guests by the food and beverage price per person, add fixed catering costs, then add service and tax. This model applies service to the whole subtotal and tax to the subtotal plus service; adjust against the actual quote.
What catering extras should I check?
Ask whether staffing, delivery, setup, tableware, linens, cake cutting, cleanup, and gratuities are included. Add excluded costs once, and confirm the caterer’s billing count for children and vendor meals.
Keep planning.
