Food and specialist retail: Invoicing software for cheesemongers
Invoicing software for cheesemongers that bills business orders on account with the actual weight, packaging and boxes, so the invoice matches what was cut and handed over.
Where invoices stall for cheesemongers.
Restaurants, caterers and companies often buy from cheesemongers on account. At the end of the month the shop has to put all of a customer's orders on one invoice. The actual weight is on price stickers that left with the cheese, and the ticket only shows the ordered weight. A restaurant collecting three cheeses a week gets an invoice based on estimates, and the chef asks why an amount does not match the ticket. For tasting boxes the office has to work out whether packaging was charged separately and whether the substitute cheese was more expensive. Then comes chasing who has not paid yet.

Collect weights and boxes
Per business customer the software puts all completed orders from the period on a monthly invoice, with the actual weight per cheese from the job card, packaging, boards and boxes. Each line refers to the order and the collection date, so the customer can find it again.
Review differences
The actual weight sits next to the ordered weight, the box contents next to the quote. Large differences, a substitute cheese with a different kilo price or a box without a quote are flagged. The office decides per difference whether it goes through as it is or gets adjusted.
Send the monthly invoice
After review the monthly invoice goes to the customer with lines per order and date and a payment link. Reminders follow automatically if payment does not arrive, and per customer you can see what is open. If a chef asks about an amount, you see which order, which weight and which kilo price is behind it.
Invoicing from the same software.
Till sales are settled directly through the till system; nothing changes there. Business customers on account are now invoiced by hand from tickets. In the software the weights are already on the job cards and the prices in the quote or customer agreement, so the invoice comes from what was recorded. The office owns the invoice, the person cutting owns the weight. The bookkeeper can look along or receive an export.
Invoicing per order or per month
Invoicing per order keeps things clear but gives a restaurant dozens of invoices. A monthly statement is more usual for regulars but requires every order to be recorded properly. The software produces a monthly invoice with a line per order, so both benefits remain and the customer gets one document.
Ordered or actual weight
Invoicing the ordered weight is predictable for the customer, but the shop often hands over a bit more. Actual weight is fairer but varies each time. With regulars, actual weight is the norm, provided the customer can see on the ticket or in the portal what was weighed.
Packaging separate or in the kilo price
Listing packaging separately shows what vacuum packing or a board costs. Building it into the kilo price is simpler but hides why a box costs more than loose cheese. Restaurants without packaging and companies with boxes may need different choices, recorded per customer. The office then applies them automatically.
What we set up for your invoicing.
Per business customer the agreements are ready at the start: kilo price, payment term and whether packaging is charged separately. The monthly invoice picks up completed orders with actual weight, flags differences with ordered weight and quote, and goes out with a payment link. Together we check a restaurant that collects the same cheeses every week, and a company whose Christmas boxes contained a substitute cheese. Automatic reminders are on from day one.

Explore pricing and optionsCan a restaurant see what weight was handed over each time?
Yes. The monthly invoice has a line per order with date, cheese and actual weight. The customer portal shows the same information against the order. The chef or owner can check it without keeping tickets, which settles questions quickly.
What if the actual weight is much higher than ordered?
The software flags it as a difference. The office can invoice the weight, drop the difference or check first. The reason for the choice is stored with the line, in case the customer asks about it later.
Does the till stay separate from this invoicing?
Yes. Whatever is paid at the counter goes through the till and is settled there. Invoicing only covers orders on account, where the difference between order, weight and agreement needs reviewing first. So the same cheese never ends up on two invoices.
Can we use different kilo prices per customer?
Yes. A restaurant with regular volume can have a different price per kilo than the counter. That agreement sits with the customer, and the software applies it. The office sees which price was used, and a change applies from the next order.
