Master Chef
That's what I do.
Pigs On The Wing BBQ said:My contract does say NO REFUNDS, but deposit may not hold up in court.
SoEzzy said:I like a 25% booking charge, (not a deposit as deposits are refundable, and a booking charge isn't), then 1/2 of what is left, (37.5%), 2 weeks before, and the rest the day of the gig, (in advance so that "I don't have to bother you while you are with your guests").
I works for me.
Smokey_Joe said:Can a booking charge get one in trouble in the long run if they aren't commercially licensed? ( I have NO CLUE who is or isn't here...this isn't an attack on anyone.... just a serious question )
I mean who's going to question a mom & pop person catering someones backyard Q event if they are licensed or not ......but if you are talking about using "booking charge" as terminology rather then deposit...."in case" of "if" you end up in court or some debate...then is a commercial license a MUST to have WITH the booking charge defense???
