Quote Presentation for Events and Catering
DolceDrago 364 — a skill for pricing a date that can be sold only once
Variant of Nº021 — The Quote Presenter
What it is
Prices the one thing a caterer or event supplier actually sells: a date that cannot be sold twice. Builds the quote around the mechanics that decide whether the year is profitable — the deposit that holds the date, per-head bands with a guaranteed minimum and a confirmation deadline, a sliding cancellation grid, and an honest account of what does not fall when eighty guests become fifty-five. For caterers, venues and suppliers quoting weddings, parties and corporate dates.
What you receive
a date-holding event quote — per-head bands with a final-numbers deadline, the deposit that reserves the date, a sliding cancellation grid, the fixed costs that do not fall when guests do, and a postponement rule, with the deposit and cancellation wording sent to legal review
