Do I need to create invoices?

You don't need to create or send any invoice yourself — ChefMaison generates everything automatically. To make this fully clear, here's exactly which invoices exist, split by who they're between.

The invoices issued to you (the chef)

There are 2 invoices generated that involve you directly:

1. An invoice from ChefMaison to you, charging the commission on the booking.
2. An invoice in your name, to ChefMaison, for the amount you're owed — your menu value minus the commission. This is essentially the documentation behind your payout.

The invoices issued to the client

Separately, the client also receives 2 invoices — these aren't something you need to manage, but it's useful to understand what they are:

1. An invoice in your name, to the client, for the value of the menu/proposal you sent.
2. A separate invoice from ChefMaison to the client, for the admin/service fee — this fee is actually charged by Stripe, and it's sent under ChefMaison's name, not yours.

What this means for you

• You never need to issue an invoice yourself for a ChefMaison booking — everything above is generated automatically.
• The invoices in your name reflect the items and VAT rates you set on your proposal.
• If anything looks off, or you're missing one of your invoices, reach out to us at operations@chefmaison.com and we'll help sort it out.

💡 As a marketplace, we handle all the invoicing automatically — including the commission and payout documentation — so you can focus on the event itself and have fun!
