Hospitality suppliers face cash flow pressure from both sides

Food and beverage suppliers, equipment hire companies, and catering businesses are particularly vulnerable to payment delays — they provide goods and services that are consumed immediately, leaving little leverage once delivered. A formal letter of demand is the fastest way to establish legal priority.

Venue hire and catering contracts often have complex deposit and cancellation terms. A letter of demand citing the specific contract clauses is particularly effective when a client defaults on a booking.

Frequently asked questions

What if a venue cancels a booking and won't pay the cancellation fee?
Cancellation fees are enforceable if clearly set out in the contract. A letter of demand citing the specific clause is the appropriate first step.
Can I send a letter of demand to a restaurant in administration?
If a business is in administration, you become an unsecured creditor. Seek legal advice before proceeding — a letter of demand during administration may need to be addressed to the administrator.
The client says the food wasn't delivered correctly. Do I still have a claim?
If you delivered what was contracted, yes. If there is a partial dispute, demand payment for the undisputed portion. A formal letter creates the legal record needed if the matter proceeds to court.
