Food trays are prepared and delivered. No cleanup, rentals, staffed service, or alcohol service.
Payment after approval
Payment Policy
Payment is handled through Stripe after we approve availability, menu items, timing, and the final delivery-included total.
Order basics
Payment comes after approval
Cooked trays, delivery-only service, clear quoted totals, and payment after availability is confirmed.
Send allergy notes, toppings, oil preferences, spice level, or a personal recipe direction before ordering.
We confirm availability, menu items, delivery-included total, and Stripe payment before prep begins.
Approved order payments
Clear payment steps before food prep
Payment is intentionally separate from the request form. The order details are reviewed first so the Stripe amount matches the exact trays, timing, delivery, and custom notes.
Request first
Send trays, date, delivery town, timing, headcount, substitutions, and allergy notes before payment.
Quote reviewed
JD Catering confirms availability, menu options, timing, delivery, and the full delivery-included total.
Deposit reserves
A 50% Stripe deposit reserves the approved order after the exact amount has been confirmed.
Balance before prep
The remaining balance must be paid before cooking begins so the order is locked in cleanly.
Payment sequence
From quote request to approved Stripe payment
Use this page to understand when payment happens. It keeps tray orders from being paid before the menu, delivery time, and final total are confirmed.
-
Order request
Customer submits details through the request form.
-
Availability check
Date, delivery location, menu items, custom notes, and allergies are reviewed.
-
Final total
Food, customization, timing, and delivery are combined into one confirmed quote.
-
Stripe payment
Deposit or balance is paid using the approved-order payment link.
Cancellation and changes
Cancellation or change requests should be made at least 48 hours before the scheduled delivery time. Once ingredients are purchased or prep has started, refunds or changes may be limited.
Stripe payment link
Use the secure Stripe payment link only after the order and exact amount are approved. This link may be used for the 50% deposit or remaining balance.
Use the same name, phone number, and email from your order request so the payment can be matched to the approved tray order.
Pay Approved Order
Do not use this link until your trays, delivery-included total, date, and timing have been confirmed.
