Corporate buffets & SMS deposits focus

For corporate buffets and receptions, each event drives purchases, staff planning and logistics. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link when the quote is accepted: the client pays from their phone, the date is secured and you protect your margin on ingredients and staff. For larger budgets, you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. The company or organiser spreads the cost, while Stripe pays the full amount directly to your Stripe account as soon as the payment is accepted with the full amount in your Stripe account, visible in PayLinker, without handling recurring payments yourself. PayLinker works without a terminal: a smartphone or laptop is enough to create links for deposits, balances, additional options and last‑minute changes. Each payment is time‑stamped and tied to an event and company, which simplifies accounting and reporting. Your own booking and cancellation rules remain the base: PayLinker simply handles notifications, payment collection and history so you know exactly what has been paid and what remains due.
