Are these mobile-catering templates UK-specific?

Yes. A4 print-ready, GBP, UK conventions for event booking, allergen, food-safety, gas-and-electric trade-test and customer paperwork. The pack reflects the documents UK mobile caterers typically maintain — they support your existing food-safety qualification and gas/electric certification, not replace them.

Do the documents cover what venues and councils typically ask before trading?

Yes. The event-booking pack includes a venue-and-council-document schedule (food-safety registration evidence, public liability insurance, gas trade-test, electric trade-test, allergen register) so you can show evidence at the gate without scrambling.

Will the MTD compliance kit help with the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes?

Yes. The kit is structured for clean quarterly bookkeeping — categorised income (per-head events, day-rate, weekend events, retail at events), categorised expenses (ingredients, fuel, equipment, training, mileage), quarter-by-quarter summary. Submit through MTD-compatible software yourself, or hand the file to your accountant.

What file formats do I get?

Most documents are PDFs with a fillable business-name header. Premium adds editable Word (.docx). The pricing calculator and MTD kit are Excel workbooks.

Business documents£11.99

Business Documents — Standard

Running a mobile catering business means customer contact is constant — enquiries, bookings, terms, deposits, dietary or access notes, aftercare. The work is the work; what drags is having no consistent paperwork to send through before people arrive. Screenshots of templates from other businesses get mixed in and nothing quite looks like your brand. This Standard pack delivers the 17 documents a mobile catering actually uses week to week — Client Order Form, Allergen Declaration, Consent Liability Waiver, Food Safety Management Record, Temperature Monitoring Log, Supplier Record, Cleaning Schedule Record, Client Contract Agreement, plus Delivery Record, Client Allergy Questionnaire, Privacy Notice, Invoice Receipt, Complaint Procedure, Staff Hygiene Declaration, Photo Consent, Quote Estimate and Tasting Session Booking. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK-specific terminology, A4 print-ready, no Canva and no monthly software. Built for sole-trader and small-firm UK mobile catering businesses who want one consistent paper trail across every job.

Business Documents — Essential

A mobile-catering business rolling up to the first events needs food-safety paperwork in the trailer before service starts — not the full hospitality fleet, just the order, allergen, food-safety and consent records an EHO and an event organiser will both ask to see. This Essentials kit for a mobile-catering business carries five documents: a client order form, an allergen declaration, a food safety management record, a photo consent form, and the privacy notice. All five arrive as PDFs with a fillable header — your mobile-catering business name sits at the top, you print or save, and the event folder reads like a mobile-catering operator who takes hygiene and consent as seriously as the menu. Calmer than improvising allergens on the day, cleaner than losing an order to a text-thread mix-up.

Business Documents — Premium

Mobile catering runs on event bookings, health inspections and the logistics of feeding hundreds of people from a trailer or van - and the paperwork has to cover all three without anything falling between them on the morning of the job in a wet field at a festival. LaunchKit Premium for mobile catering covers all 16 business documents as interactive fillable PDF plus editable Word. Event contract, menu proposal, allergen declaration and food hygiene checklist fill in on a tablet at the booking, and the customer terms, supplier agreements, staff records, feedback form and complaint procedure rebrand in Word with your mobile catering business name, trading style and branding. HACCP records, insurance declaration, risk assessment and GDPR notice match in tone. Two formats from one download - the mobile catering operation's paperwork runs tight.

Financial forms£11.99

Financial Forms Bundle — Standard

A mobile catering business runs on deposits, split payments, chargebacks, deposits and changeover-day cashflow. The numbers are straightforward until they aren't — and at year end an accountant wants proper records, not a shoebox of till receipts and a bank app screenshot. This Standard pack covers the core financial admin a mobile catering business runs day to day — quote and estimate forms, booking invoice templates, deposit records, expense logs covering supplies, utilities and consumables, a monthly income summary split by revenue stream, a VAT log for those who are registered, and an annual accounts prep sheet. Each PDF carries a fillable header — type your business name and trading details once, then print or save. UK Self Assessment categories pre-aligned, A4 print-ready, no monthly software commitment. Built for sole-trader and small-firm mobile catering businesses who want a clean paper trail before year-end.

Financial forms£19.99

Financial Forms Bundle — Premium

Mobile catering income is event-by-event, and the financial picture changes with every pitch. A good Saturday market can look great in isolation; a wet bank holiday weekend can erase a month of profit. Tracking food costs, pitch fees, fuel, and equipment against income per event is the only way to know which events are worth returning to. This set covers the financial forms that give you that picture: per-event income records, a daily sales log, a food and ingredient cost tracker, a pitch fee and fuel expense log, a monthly cash flow forecast for planning the season ahead, and an annual profit and loss summary. Fillable PDFs for completing on a phone or tablet after each event, editable Word documents for the home office. Forms that turn event-by-event trading into a clear and manageable business record.

MTD compliance£16.99

MTD Compliance Kit — Premium

Making Tax Digital is becoming part of the record-keeping reality for many self-employed mobile catering businesses, and the real headache isn't the rule — it's keeping records clean across a year of mixed takings across cash, card and deposits, seasonal surges, supplier invoices and turnover that shifts through the year. This Compliance Kit is an Excel workbook covering Income Tracker, Expense Log, Expense Summary, Quarterly Summary, Annual Summary, Reconciliation, Mileage Log with a simplified-vs-actual switch, Year-End Adjustments, Tax Reserve Scenarios, Evidence Log, Compliance Warnings, Allowable Expenses Guide, Deadline Calendar, Quarterly Checklist, and an Executive Dashboard that surfaces the figures your accountant actually asks for. Available in England and Scotland versions to match where the business is based. Built for UK sole-trader mobile catering businesses who want quarterly review to be a 30-minute job, not a weekend search through receipts. Not a tax-return tool — a record-keeping workbook for organising your figures — a record-keeping foundation that makes filing simpler.

Pricing calculator£14.99

Pricing Calculator — Premium

Pricing a festival booking against a weekly pitch and a private event — all in the same week — is where mobile catering businesses tend to get the maths wrong. This Premium pricing calculator re-centres that. Nine catering formats come pre-loaded, covering street food and market stalls, festival and event catering, private event hire, office and industrial lunch trade, sports event catering, and late-night service. Enter your base rate once and every format rebuilds with ingredients, staffing, travel, and pitch fees factored into the per-head or per-event price. A quote builder handles bespoke bookings, a job log tracks every event, and a monthly dashboard shows which formats actually pay. Delivered as one Excel workbook for UK mobile caterers — open it, save your copy, quote with confidence.

Social media kit£4.99

Social Media Content Kit

You know social media matters. The mobile caterers in your area who post regularly stay visible when a couple starts planning a 2027 wedding, when a festival organiser is locking in pitches for the summer, or when a charity is looking for a caterer for an autumn fundraiser. But between prep days, market pitches, and wedding service, sitting down to write a caption is the last thing on your list — you open the app, think "I should post today's signature plate from the trailer before service starts," close it again, and a month goes by while the photos pile up on the phone in the prep unit. This kit removes that problem. You get 64 ready-to-edit captions covering the work you actually do — menu focus and cuisine, event catering and weddings, market pitches and festivals, sourcing and suppliers, allergen-aware service, trust, standards and certifications, local and community, bookings, rebooking and reviews. Plus 10 fully scripted Reels, a 4-week posting calendar, bio templates for Instagram, Facebook and Google Business, DM and reply templates, seasonal hooks across the full year, and a localisation worksheet that makes every caption sound like your trailer, not a template. Fill in your details once. The whole kit adapts to your area, your menu, and your way of working — built specifically for UK independent mobile caterers.

AI copy kit£14.99

AI Copy Kit

A mobile catering business lives on communication — event enquiry replies, menu sample confirmations, deposit invoices, dietary-requirement messages, on-the-day arrival notes, post-event review requests. Writing each one fresh between prep shifts is exhausting, and patchy messaging undercuts the polish that event clients are paying you for. This AI Copy Kit gives you 120+ ready-made messages, prompts and templates written specifically for UK mobile caterers. Four components: an AI Copy Kit Main with 30 structured playbooks for every communication scenario from first enquiry to final invoice follow-up; Copy Banks for quick-grab messages by situation; Email Templates for client onboarding, job completion, payment reminders and seasonal promotions; and an Automation Guide showing how to use the templates with AI tools, including reusable prompt formulas for any future message — covering event enquiry replies, menu samples, deposit invoices, dietary-requirement messages and review requests. Editable DOCX plus PDF reference copies. UK-specific tone. Copy, customise, send.

Who this is for

Built for mobile catering businesses

UK self-employed mobile caterers — wedding, festival, corporate and private event work, mostly van-and-trailer, with deposit-protected event bookings.

Overview

A clearer way to manage your mobile catering paperwork

Mobile catering is event-led, kit-bound work — the van or trailer arrives at a wedding, a festival, a corporate event, sets up service, runs the shift, packs down, drives home. The cooking is your craft; the paperwork around it (event booking, allergen register, food-safety records, gas-and-electric trade-test, deposit policy, GDPR for client data) is what protects margin when an event date moves or a council inspector asks for evidence of food-safety practice. LaunchKit gives UK mobile catering operators ready-made templates for that whole layer: business documents (event booking and design brief, allergen register, food safety records, gas-and-electric trade-test record, deposit-and-cancellation policy, photo consent, GDPR notice, complaint procedure), financial trackers and invoicing, an MTD-ready bookkeeping kit aligned to the April 2026 quarterly reporting changes, a pricing calculator that handles per-head, day-rate and weekend-event pricing, an AI copy kit for event-side comms, and a startup guide. Every template is UK-specific, A4 print-ready and built around how UK mobile caterers actually trade across weddings, festivals and corporate events.

What we solve

Common UK admin problems we solve

Allergen and food-safety records inconsistent across events, with no central event-by-event log when a council inspector asks for evidence
Gas-and-electric trade-test certificates handled trade-style, with no central record when a venue asks for evidence before you trade
Per-head vs day-rate vs weekend-event pricing inconsistent, and underlying earn-per-event hard to read
Self-assessment compiled each January from card statements, event-platform takings and supplier accounts, with MTD ITSA quarterly reporting from April 2026 now in scope
The same enquiry replies, event-day timeline confirmations and post-event follow-ups rewritten from blank every booking
