Free Freelance Caterer
Service Agreement
If your freezer goes out or a guest gets sick, your insurance deductible won't cover the full cost—the lawsuit will strip your business down to the studs. Never let a broken chafing dish or a bad batch of oysters sink your entire operation.
Pro Contractor Tip
Put a non-refundable retainer and a tiered cancellation clause—the "Kill Fee"—in every single contract, or you eat the prep costs when the client bails.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Freelance Caterer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.
