Consultancy agreement
This is a simple consultancy agreement.
The agreement is short, but does include specific provisions covering services, deliverables, licensing, charges and subcontracting (amongst other things). It is not particularly biased towards the consultant or the client, although it can be easily adapted to favour one or the other.
If you are looking for a consultancy document that provides for the transfer of copyright, or otherwise need something more sophisticated, you should consider the standard consultancy agreement on Website Contracts.

Terms and conditions for an F&B consultancy contract
Generic document
This is a generic consultancy agreement, and hasn't been designed with any issues that are specific to this industry in mind. Templates are tools, and always need to be adapted to take account of the particular circumstances in which they are used.
General consulting agreement
I needed a general consulting agreement, and it looks like this will fit the bill. Thanks.
