A catering contract is a document that relays the terms by which a catering company agrees to supply food services for a specific event or for a set period of time. Caterers use catering contracts when they are hired to organize special events like weddings, birthday parties or fundraisers; by companies for staff lunches; and for any occasion where they need to arrange meals for a group of people. It is an important document for the catering industry as it provides legal protection against clients who are difficult to work with. It also sets out the terms and conditions of the working relationship between the two parties. It defines the duties and responsibilities of both parties as well as specifies payment obligations in case the client fails to make the payments on time. It also contains provisions in case of a breach of the contract by either party, including who should pay the legal fees.
