For corporate events and catering, the contact person is not necessarily the contracting party. Check which business placed the order and who was authorised to do so. Keep the offer, acceptance, agreed guest count and subsequent changes together. An invoice addressed to the contact personally may identify the wrong debtor.
Document the services actually provided: event date, deliveries, confirmed additions and deposits already credited. Distinguish the invoice amount from the outstanding balance after a partial payment. Separate events for the same customer should remain individually identifiable.
An agreed cancellation charge requires a valid basis and the relevant facts. Include the booking conditions, cancellation date and correspondence. If the claim is disputed, do not submit it as undisputed under a regular instruction. The incaseof.law terms provide for separate legal assessment of contested claims.
The venue alone does not answer every applicable-law question. Record the parties' locations and contractual agreements. Our Germany overview explains subsequent steps for German cases; Austrian cases may involve an Austrian payment-order claim. Do not submit a duplicate if the same receivable is already being handled.
Check the claim and balance, record objections and identify the relevant jurisdiction. Acceptance and cooperation follow our terms.
Everyday life in hospitality
Food costs, staff and rent are paid long before the corporate client transfers the money. Every unpaid invoice hurts twice here, because it ties up capital that is missing in the daily business. Whether it is a company dinner, a banquet or a running delivery, the starting point is the same: the customer does not pay.
Christmas party, team event, conference catering: it is ordered on account. Afterwards the contact person disappears into internal approvals or moves to another department.
The booking falls through at short notice, and the no-show fee is in the quotation. On the invoice the corporate client stops responding, while food and staff were already scheduled.
Orders pile up in the high season, and the open items land in the months with low turnover. That is exactly when the money for the next purchase is missing.
In brief
Catering delivered, event completed, invoice unpaid? Hand over due, undisputed claims with evidence of default. incaseof.law supports digital handling while you focus on your business.

A case from hospitality
The buffet for the Christmas party of a corporate client is delivered, and the invoice for 4,800 euros has been due for 60 days. Nobody answers emails, the contact person has moved to another department. You hand over the case the way you submit any unpaid claim, and carry on with the service.
