Contract for catering job
Does anyone happen to have a simple catering contract. Rich and I are catering a wedding and the mother of the bride asked for one.
Thanks in advance. Bunny

We have a more complicated one that details EVERYTHING, but this is generally what we use. Bid fom and acceptance letter all in one. Our menu states conditions of refunds, deposits, etc.

Simple is not always good when it comes to a contract. It is best to be sure both parties are well aware of what is expected and therefore protected. We use a slightly modified version of one we downloaded from this site. LINK (at the bottom of their page is an option to download in DOC format) We found a few clerical errors in the document and corrected them (such as section 3.1 referring back to section 1 instead of section 2). And we added a couple items that our attorney advised due to specific tort laws in Kansas. A tip regarding the Deposit is to ensure that it is enough to cover all of your product/ingredients. Our Deposit is 50% of the total event charge. This not only helps cover these costs due to loss, if they cancel, but also allows you some working capital to prepare for the event. We also changed item 3.3 to state the balance of charges due are to be paid upon delivery but before setup/serving. This avoids collection issues due to a client trying to not pay the full balance. We have had some issues with clients trying to not pay in full or being very late in payment causing us extra cost in collection fees. No payment - No food/service.

Only thing I see missing are pre-event tastings and insurance.
Tastings can get out of hand when the bride (or MIL) wants to taste a sample menu followed by a second tasting with another group and so on. Insurance - whose insurance covers what. As always have any legal document reviewed by an attorney to protect your interests.

I charge a $200 non-refundable deposit to hold the date. 10 days from the event I get the final count and full payment. Never had a problem with this system and I never have to chase anyone for money and I don't have to try to get paid at the event. If they don't have the money 10 days prior to the event they won't have it 10 days later.

Thank you PorkQPine & HBMTN!!! Just changed our contract last night to match this format. Great strategy. (and the line item of the client "having a backup plan" is a real gem too) Thanks!!!

Agreed with the above and I do 50% at time of booking non refundable and the remainder 14 days ahead of the event. With weather like we have here it's not a bad plan.

I have a note in the contract that they need a back up plan in the event of rain. I just cooked a wedding for 200 that was in the rain but the guests were in a building and I was the one in the rain. Hate cooking in the rain. LOL.
