Document background
The Catering Agreement is essential for any business arrangement involving professional food service provision in Switzerland. It is typically used when engaging a catering service for corporate events, private functions, institutional food service, or ongoing catering arrangements. The document ensures compliance with Swiss federal and cantonal regulations, particularly the Federal Food Safety and Consumer Products Law (LMG) and relevant provisions of the Swiss Code of Obligations. It covers crucial elements such as service scope, food safety standards, liability allocation, pricing structures, and operational requirements. This agreement is particularly important given Switzerland's strict food safety and hygiene regulations, and it helps establish clear expectations and responsibilities for both the caterer and the client while providing legal protection for all parties involved.
