Catering Agreement

A Catering Agreement is an agreement entered into where one party, the Caterer, offers catering services to the other party, the Client.

The catering services could be as simple as simply delivering packed meals to the client or as elaborate as setting up the tables, seats, chinaware, silverware, and glasses as well as providing wait staff, or anything in between. Whatever type of catering service will be provided, it is important that the parties enter into a written agreement that outlines each party's duties and obligations to avoid misunderstandings.

If another type of service will be provided, a Services Agreement may be used.
