Dry Hire Bar Agreement Form

A dry hire bar agreement template — hire the bar unit only, accept the terms and e-sign, for self-run events.

Description

Sometimes a client just wants the bar, not the staff — a styled unit to run themselves — and dry hire needs its own agreement because the risks are different. This form confirms what’s being hired, the hire period and the fee, then takes the client through the terms that matter when they’re in charge: a damage deposit, their responsibility for the licence and for serving responsibly, and the return condition. The liability and licensing clauses carry real weight on a dry hire. Once the unit’s with the client, they’re responsible for serving within the law and returning it as it left you, so pinning down the damage deposit, the licensing responsibility and the return terms protects your asset and your reputation. The e-signature and PDF give both sides a clear, dated record. Send it whenever you hire a bar out without staff. Free, brandable, with the signature and PDF built in.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Dry Hire Bar Agreement Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What's dry hire?

Hiring the bar unit only — the client runs it themselves, without your staff. This agreement sets the terms for that arrangement.

Why is there a damage deposit?

Because the unit’s in the client’s care. The deposit covers damage or loss and is returned when the bar comes back as it left — the terms make this clear.

Who's responsible for the licence on a dry hire?

The client is, since they’re running the bar. The agreement confirms they understand the alcohol-licensing responsibility is theirs.

What condition must it be returned in?

As it left you, clean and undamaged. The return terms are set out so expectations are clear.

Do I get a copy?

Yes — a PDF of the signed agreement is generated automatically for both sides.

Is it free?

Yes — free with a Fun Forms account, fully brandable, with e-signature and PDF included.
