SEVENTH FUNCTION: UNDERSTANDING INSURANCE AND LEGAL ISSUES
• Insurance plans should cover equipment, personnel, and guests at both on-premise and off-premise events.
• Establishing a crisis team can help address immediate, unforeseen disasters and crisis that may occur through no fault of their own.
• Creating a similar safety management team can help troubleshoot legal concerns.
• The caterer should never perform a function without a well-written, signed contract in place.
• Though contracts are officially binding, they offer peace of mid to both the caterer and the client by providing a clear document of exactly what is to be carried out at the given event.
