Hello everyone, 

 

I am in the middle of making up a contract and I wanted to ask you lovely people for pointers.

 

I am including a space to add these details:

  • Order code
  • Client name and contact details
  • Event date
  • Event start time
  • Cake delivery/pick up time
  • Number of guests
  • Venue information (name, address, contact details)
  • Cake order details
  • Size of cake
  • Colour scheme (palette?)
  • Flavours

 

Some sort of jargon about 50% deposit paid will confirm and hold reservation. Deposit refundable 30+ days prior to event. Cancellations need to be in writing. Final payment needs to be made by 2 weeks before the event date. Late payment fee? Late payments may result in substitutions or modifications to the original design. I *company name* reserve right to exercise right to guarantee structural and visual integrity. (I'm having nightmares of people providing home made stands)

 

Another space to add these details:

  • Cake cost
  • Delivery cost
  • Total cost:
  • Deposit cost and due on
  • Final payment cost and due on

 

Space for:

  • Client's name
  • Client's signature
  • Date

 

Does this sound good? Should I do this for smaller orders or is that overkill?

 

Also should I keep invoices? I'm tempted to buy an invoice book tomorrow and keep that for smaller orders in the mean time and making up a pdf invoice for larger orders.

 

Also the bit in bold I am unsure about.

 

Thank-you in advance!

I'm also feeling really dim at the moment but I had a look at the stickies in this forum where people have their cake price guides set up and while I have opened the thread I can't see where to have a look at the guides.

Hi, if anyone could have a look at what I have so far and tell me if it is enough?
