Dietary Restrictions Form
Collect everyone's dietary needs before your event, meal program, or food service begins.
Planning a meal without knowing your guests' dietary restrictions is a gamble. This form gives caterers, event planners, schools, and meal programs a clear way to collect allergy and preference information upfront — so every guest has something safe and appropriate to eat.
The template covers common allergens (nuts, dairy, gluten, shellfish, eggs, soy), dietary preferences (vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal), specific food intolerances, the severity of allergies (preference vs. medical necessity), and any additional notes from the respondent.
The difference between a preference and a life-threatening allergy matters enormously. This form asks about both clearly so the kitchen team can distinguish between substitution requests and strict avoidance requirements.
The FDA's major food allergens: milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and soybeans. Sesame was added in 2023 and should be included. For international events, additional allergens may be relevant depending on the cuisine.
Ask explicitly — include a question about whether the restriction is a preference, intolerance, or life-threatening allergy. Medical allergies require strict avoidance and possible EpiPen accommodation; preferences allow more flexibility.
At least 2 to 3 weeks before a catered event, and at enrollment for ongoing meal programs. The earlier, the better for planning and sourcing.
Share it with the kitchen team in a format they can act on quickly — a clear list of allergens by guest name, highlighting severe allergies. Don't bury it in a spreadsheet that requires translation.
Yes — kosher, halal, and other religious dietary practices are not allergies, but they're equally important for the affected guests. Include them as options alongside allergen and preference questions.

Nationality Verification Form
A self-certification buried in a stack of new account paperwork isn't the kind of record a compliance team can rely on for a regulatory filing. Collect nationality, tax residency, and a signed declaration before an account opens, so compliance isn't chasing down a customer's citizenship status after the fact.

Policy Cancellation Form
A cancellation requested over the phone doesn't leave a clear record of exactly what date the policyholder actually asked for, and that date matters more than it sounds like it should. Collect what your agency actually needs, policy details, identity verification, and the requested effective date, before coverage actually ends.

Inheritance Beneficiary Form
Asking a grieving family member for the same banking details across three different phone calls doesn't make settling an estate go any faster. Collect what your firm actually needs, beneficiary information, identification, and distribution details, in one submission instead of three calls.

Personal Training Informed Consent Form
A consent form signed in the ten seconds before a first session isn't the kind of informed agreement that holds up if something goes wrong. Walk clients through the specific risks of training and get a signed, dated acknowledgment before the first rep, so consent actually means what the word implies.
