I was speaking to a venue manager over the weekend and we got to talking about bar tabs and food. She had a recent experience with an artist who had a bigger bar tab than payment and others who slip in rounds for friends, so I suggested putting a pre-arranged limit on the tab, deducting any overs from the payment and even adding any leftover tab to the payment.
It got me to thinking though... Is there a standard? I know venues that give you a meal, but all drinks are excluded and I know others who won't give you anything. What do you ask/expect/hope to get from a venue? Do any of you write it into a contract?
