Specialised caterer (vegan, world food): SMS deposits and flexible payments

In hospitality, a date reserved without a deposit remains fragile. With PayLinker, you send an SMS deposit link for each large table, privatisation or catering service: the client pays from their phone, the booking is confirmed and you protect your margin on ingredients, staff and logistics. For larger events (weddings, corporate buffets, seminars, group brunches), you can offer instalment payments via Stripe. Clients spread their budget, while Stripe pays the full amount directly to your Stripe account as soon as the payment is accepted with the full amount in PayLinker. Each payment generates an automatic PDF receipt, useful for both private clients and corporate accounting teams. Whether you work in a dining room, wine bar, foodtruck or as a private chef, you don’t need a terminal: one payment link is enough to collect a deposit, a balance or options (special menus, drinks, extra equipment). Links are time‑stamped and tied to a date and amount, which makes it easier to track bookings and payments. PayLinker adapts to your booking rules: you keep your own policy for postponements, cancellations or non‑refunded deposits, while the tool manages collection, notifications and history. In case of changes in guest numbers or menu, you can send a new adjusted link and keep a clear record of all payments related to the event.
