Document Overview
This precedent established an agreement for the purpose of a caterer providing one-off catering services for a specific event, occasion or function, where the customer is a business.
The agreement explicitly provides that a binding contract between the caterer and the customer will come into being only when the caterer signs the order form that has been completed and supplied to it by the customer. The order form is attached to the document as a schedule.
Order form
If the form and the terms and conditions are to be only used online, then some adaptation will be necessary.
The order form aims to cover and include all the essential details needed for the type of event, occasion or function that the consumer envisages, the type of catering that will be required, as well as its date, time and place.
What does the Catering Agreement (Customer is a Business) cover?
- Deposit, fee and payment;
- Cancellations and changes;
- Access and facilities requirements;
- Liabilities and indemnities; and
- Order form details.

The Legal Risk Score of a Catering Agreement (Customer is a Business) Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The agreement outlines that the customer is responsible for upfront financial commitments such as deposits and payments for extras, and the cost may increase if the details of the function change after the order is finalized, potentially leading to higher than anticipated expenses.
- If the customer cancels the event close to the date of the function or reduces the number of attendees, they may still be liable for significant costs, which can include paying for services and goods that are no longer required.
- The customer must ensure that the venue meets certain requirements and that access is provided for setup and cleanup within specific time frames, which could lead to logistical challenges or additional costs if not managed properly.
