In this region, one of the bigger revenue generators for hotel operators is the bar or club. In the competitive entertainment industry, bars and clubs are increasingly hiring musical acts - singers, bands and DJs - to generate interest and gain an audience. But many hotel venues are doing this on an ad hoc basis, using emails and calls to confirm and not having a set of standard terms that they present to entertainers that are performing in the venue. As with every aspect of your business, having and using a standard form contract for venue entertainment ensures that everyone understands the business side of the deal. There are no unexpected surprises for either party.
