Full Fledged Farker
when setting up a catering contract, what are standaerd payment terms?
how much of a deposit and when should final payment be made?
how much of a deposit and when should final payment be made?
We run 50% upfront and the remainder at set up. They have to confirm everything 14 day prior. No refund after the 14 day cutoff.
No offense intended, but this is quite convoluted. It hurt my head trying to follow the bouncing ball.All bookings are first come first serve
A non-refundable deposit of $250.00 is required to book & hold any date
Deposits cover administrative time and office expenses
All proposals expire ten (10) business days from the date created
Final payment for all proposals is due fourteen (14) days prior to the event
Full refund for cancellations thirteen (13) days prior to the event
75% refund for cancellation seven (7) days or less prior to the event
If you cancel after we have purchased food for your event you will be responsible for the cost of the food and an additional 20% service charge, any balance after that will be refunded
All refunds will be paid within fourteen (14) business days from the date of cancellation
Discounts do NOT apply unless we have discussed them and have come to terms
Leaves little room for question, spells it out. Prevents coming up with new terms on the fly everytime someone asks a question re: Deposits & final payment. We like it, our attorney likes it and every one of our clients knows what to expect with regards to $$$...when they sign the contract, it's good for them and us!
