  • Tax and tip are calculated on the shown subtotal. Change their rates to match the quote.

How the estimate works

Per-person food uses the guest count. Trays round up to cover the count, then fixed costs, tax and tip are added.

Check what the caterer taxes and whether a service charge already includes a tip.
