Drafted in 48 hours
One tribunal claim can swallow a café’s profit for the year. Why gamble on a contract that leaves gaps in Section 1, pay terms, or probation wording?
Employment contracts UK for hospitality and care businesses
Hire with confidence, not complexity

Contracts for every role
Built around staffing patterns, not templates
A seasonal kitchen team needs different wording from a care assistant rota, doesn't it? We tailor the contract so duties, pay, notice, and variation clauses actually match the job.
Zero-hours and casual work
Useful when footfall rises, shifts move, or you need flexibility without blurring pay, availability, or notice expectations.
Fixed-term hires
Seasonal contracts for summer peaks, maternity cover, short projects, and temporary care cover. Neat. Defensible. Easy to follow.
Supplier service agreements
Care homes often need more than people contracts. We draft supplier terms for cleaning, maintenance, catering support, and specialist services.
Need apprenticeship wording, too? We can fold that in, along with the mandatory written particulars and practical rules that protect you if a dispute ever lands on your desk.
Compliance checklist
Is your HR documentation 2024-ready?
If a new starter asked for their written statement this afternoon, would you have everything ready without scrambling through old files? Our checklist is built for hospitality and care employers that can't afford loose ends.

People notice when onboarding feels tidy
A strong contract doesn't shout. It simply removes confusion, speeds up hiring, and helps your team start with the right expectations. Who doesn't want that?
“We hired three kitchen staff in one week, and the contract pack was ready before the rota settled. That saved us a proper scramble.”
Orhan N.

Employment law FAQs
Questions employers ask before they hire
A careful contract saves arguments later. Here are the questions we hear most often from hospitality and care businesses across London.
What must a written statement of employment include?
The essentials cover job title, pay, hours, holiday, place of work, notice, and other core terms. We make sure the wording is structured and easy to issue at the right time.
Can I use a zero-hours contract?
Yes, in the right setting. We draft the contract carefully so flexibility doesn't create confusion around availability, exclusivity, or holiday pay.
How do I handle a probation period?
Set review dates, extension rights, and notice terms from the start. That way, managers know what to do when performance dips or a role changes.
