Thanks to everyone who replied on the thread. I never heard back from the restaurant owner. Rumors are that he spoke to his lawyer and since there was no kind of acceptance provided to for his quote, forming a case doesn't really make sense. Yet I'm not sure, but yes never heard from the...

I respect the hardwork they put in to earn that amount of money but looking at statistics, that amount can be easy recovered by a local restaurant within a week plus make about 50% profit on top. Statistics I referred to https://www.womply.com/state-of-local-restaurants-2019/

Yes, agreed. Thank you for all your responses Quincy.

Any advises if at all the restaurant files a complaint? Is there something I could do to help myself other than settling matters with restaurants owner (as I already tried that)

Yes I have. I just strongly hope that the restaurant doesn't actually file a lawsuit for 3k which is big amount for me as student but not a very significant amount for the restaurant to cover considering nothing out of the menu was placed mentioned in the quote and the raw materials can be used...

3000 USD The quote was for $4300

I meant to tell the restaurant owner that of all the quotes the club has, the club is ready to forward their quote to the university and the exact words were- "HI XYZ, the club is ready to go for your quote. I'll forward the quote to ABC (university representative) and keep you in loop like...

There was no contract signed. The club's job is to just get a good enough for the event and forward it to the university. The university lets the club choose any quote as long as it fits the budget. The event is scheduled on 25th of Oct.

I'm a student at a university in Hoboken, New Jersey. I'm also an officer at a university club that organises events. For a particular event, I requested a quote from Restaurant 'A' which they sent as an image on text message. After a day I texted the restaurant owner that we are considering...
