When to use it.
Catering Proposal is a 12-page proposal for caterers quoting a corporate party or event, shown here for a 250-guest summer party. It covers a note from the head chef, last year against this year, how you'll run the night from tasting to clear-down, four live stations with canapés and desserts, dietary care, the night from 6 till 11, three per-head menus with the estimate and VAT, terms and booking. Cobalt blocks, lime circles drawn as plates and Caprasimo numbers give it a bright, graphic look without a single photo.
