Customer not paying my catering company in full. (self.legaladvice)

South Dakota Catering

This is going to be a little long and am sorry for that. I just want to be thorough.

I own and operate a pizza catering company. I booked a wedding and sent a contract for the wedding to the customer. On the contract it stated that I would bring enough to make 80 pizzas. After talking to the customer a month or 2 before the wedding she told me to bring 115 pizzas just in case since she wanted to be sure everyone was fed.

Then a couple weeks later the customer told me to bring even more.

The day of the event came and I ended up making 130 pizzas. After billing the customer they will not pay for anything over 80 because that was all I was contracted to bring. I have none of the past correspondents in writing about bringing extra but did make note of it on the contact when we spoke.

I have myself, my wife, and an employee that were all there at the event making the pizza and know for a fact we made that much pizza.

Would I have a case for small claims court or is this just something I have to eat and learn a lesson from.

I have been in business for 5 years and have done 100s of events and never been accused of anything like this.

Any help or advice would be great.

Thank you.

What does the contract say about paying for 80 pizzas vs. paying for pizzas actually consumed?

The contract says I will bring enough to cook 80 pizzas.

OK. Then under the contract they only owe you money for 80 pizzas.

The rest you have to negotiate separately. If they refuse to pay you anything, you can certainly look into suing them. You can use the contract as evidence of the expected cost of pizzas.

Does it sound like a decent shot for winning in small claims court?
