Catering Agreement

A Catering Agreement is a specific type of Service Agreement whereby one entity, the caterer, contracts to perform catering services at a specified event or events for the other entity, the client. In these agreements, the caterer can be either a business or natural person, and so can the client. Catering Agreements happen every day between both small entities, like a person-to-person relationship, and large ones, like company-wide catering by a large organization.

Catering Agreements are relatively simple agreements, but they do need to contain all of the specifics about the parties' relationship. For example, these agreements not only need to describe general commercial contract understandings, like pricing and service information, but they also need to have information about the actual event, such as the time and date, as well as menu.

How to use this document

This document should be used when two parties are looking to enter into a catering services agreement with each other. This agreement can be used for one event or multiple events and will cover the entirety of the understanding and relationship between the parties.

In this document, basic information is listed, such as the names and identifying details of the parties. From there, however, the agreement becomes more robust and all the pertinent details of the contract are entered, such as the event details, the fee structure, the menu, specific clauses about cancellations and penalties, and termination information.

When this agreement is filled out, it should be printed and signed by both parties. A best practice is for a copy to be kept with each party throughout and after the parties' relationship.

Applicable law

Catering Agreements in the United States are generally subject to the laws of the individual state and follow general commercial contract rules.
