Net terms for food and drink suppliers

Frequent orders, thin margins

When a buyer orders weekly, four or five invoices can be open before the first one is due. A buyer in trouble can run up a month or more of stock before anyone notices. A credit limit sized to two or three weeks of orders stops that early.

Kitchen owners run their business from their phone, so text reminders with a pay link get paid far faster than emails to an inbox nobody checks during service.
