When to use and what to include

Draft contract terms online, then generate a clean PDF for review and signature. Use it after the client approves the proposal and before sourcing to record the menu, headcount, price, deposits, event logistics, changes, and signatures.

What to include

  • Confirmed menu with every dish, portion size, and dietary accommodation listed, plus the process for menu changes and the deadline for finalizing selections.
  • Payment schedule agreed for the event: deposit amount and refundability, each progress due date, final-balance due date, accepted methods, and any applicable late or cancellation terms.
  • Venue logistics: load-in and load-out times, kitchen access and equipment availability, power and water requirements, and who is responsible for permits (health, alcohol, fire).
