Frequently asked questions

What documents does a caterer need for each event?

A quote or proposal for the client, a contract locking in menu, headcount, and payment terms, and an invoice after the event. Larger events benefit from a detailed scope attachment.

Can I include menu breakdowns and per-head pricing?

Yes. Catering forms support itemized menu sections with per-guest pricing, staffing costs, and rental line items.

Do the contracts cover deposits and cancellation terms?

Yes. The catering contract includes sections for the deposit schedule, cancellation policy, menu and service details, staffing, rentals, and customer approval.

Can I handle events with dietary restrictions and tiered packages?

Yes. Menu sections support dietary tags (vegan, gluten-free, allergen-free), per-guest pricing variations, and tiered packages with base menu plus optional add-ons.
