Documentation tips

-   Bolt Food charges are treated as meals expenses — only 50% is deductible under IRC §274, even when delivered to the office.
-   Document the business purpose and names of employees fed for each Bolt Food order to substantiate the deduction.
-   If using Bolt Business for team meal perks, keep a log of employee counts and meeting context for each order.
-   Bolt Food orders for client entertainment may still only be 50% deductible — entertainment costs bundled with food do not increase deductibility.
-   Separate grocery or non-food delivery charges (e.g., from pet stores or flower shops) from meal orders, as those are not subject to the 50% meal limitation and may be fully deductible.
