Common questions from food professionals
- What should a catering contract include about dietary restrictions?
- Your catering contract should include a section where the client discloses all known allergies and dietary restrictions, a liability limitation for undisclosed allergies, your allergen handling procedures, and what happens if menu substitutions are needed. This protects both you and your client in case of a food-related incident.
- How do I handle cancellations in a catering contract?
- Most catering contracts include tiered cancellation policies: full refund minus deposit if cancelled 30+ days out, 50% refund at 14-30 days, no refund within 14 days. The deposit (typically 25-50%) should be non-refundable after a certain point since you've already committed resources and turned away other bookings.
- Do food truck operators need contracts for each event?
- Yes. Even for recurring events or markets, a written agreement protects both parties. It should cover location assignment, minimum sales guarantees, power and water access, permit requirements, operating hours, and what happens if weather forces cancellation. A simple contract prevents disputes that verbal agreements can't resolve.
