Defendant's establishment. Defendant gave Plaintiff a copy of the
proposed new menu. Defendant stated there was nothing on it that

should see what she could do with it". Defendant further stated
he was looking for items specifically incorporating a nautical
theme, to correlate with the renovations.
1~. The following week Flaintif~ stopped at Defendant's

Chef to be certain there would be no problems or difficulties in
a working relationship with the Chef. Plaintiff telephoned and

WHEREFORE Plaihtiff
find the following legal
~acts:
does request this honorable court to
entities applicable to the above stated
COUNT !
Plaintiff does contend
Plaintiff and Defendant. to
Defendant's restaurant.
that a contract was made between
use Plaintiff, and her food ideas at
Plaintiff does contend that an offer was made by Defendant.
Defendant did hold himself out as being able to initiate and
conclude a contract of employment with Plaintiff. Defendant did
communicate with specificity the terms under which the contract
would operate. Defendant did state that to finalise this
agreement, a "formal" contract would be required. Thus suggesting
an "informal" agreement had been reached.
Plaintiff does contend that Defendant accepted the offer.
Defendant did verbally state the contract was acceptable, with a
few minor items to later be discussed. However, due to the time
element in coping with the renovations at his establishment,
Defendant could not finalize it, at that time. Defendant did
continue to act in a manner which demonstrated knowledge and
intent in preforming actions which would give Plaintiff reason to
infer that a contract had been formed between Plaintiff and
Defendant. Defendant did continue to act in a manner suggesting
to Plaintiff that her food ideas would be utilised at Defendant's
restaurant.
Plaintiff did rely upon ~efendants statements and actions to
her detriment. Plaintiff did incur e~penses, and utilise her time
~nd effort i~ perfor~i~g those tasks ~~ich would enable Plaintiff
to preform her role as a "Creative Food Consultant" for the
Defendant,
c~urfT :!
Plaintiff does ask, in the alternative, if this court does
not find a formal contract was formed between rlaintiff and
Defendant, that the court find that a Quasi contract did er.ist
between Plaintiff and Defendant. Defendant did through his
actions and words, imply to Plaintiff that an agreement to
utilize her food ideas at Defendant's restaurant did exist.
Defendant did act, and communicate with Plaintiff in a manner
suggesting her services would be utilized at Defendant's
establishment. Plaintiff did incur expenses, and utilize her time
and effort in preforming those tasks which would enable Plaintiff
to preform her role as a "Creative Food Consultant" for the
Defendant. Plaintiff did rely on the actions and verbal
statements of Defendant to her detriment. Plaintiff does not
request a just and equitable resolution to her reliance.
COUNT III
Plaintiff does state she spent many hours reading cooking
materials, receipt books. She did make numerous food items,
testing them out in various formats, and with differing
ingredients, attempting to achieve the quality and type of food
product which would be appropriate in the Defendant's restaurant
and with the Defendant's nautical theme. Plaintiff does state the
minimum amount of time zhe er.pended in these activities was ten
(10) hours. Applying the rate of $30.00 per hour consultant fee,
as quoted by Defendant, the fee for services to which Plaintiff
would be entitled to is $300.00.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff demands judgement against
the sum of $675.00 contract cost, $44.50 District
and $300.00 Consultant services fee.

Ms. Susan Kay Candiello

Mechanicsburg, PA 17055
Dear Ms. Candiello,
I am sorry to hear that you are aSking me to pay you for
services you did not perform.
Let's take another look at the truth.
IH~ ~lTCH: You made a pitch to me regarding your
culinary skills, sent me food and samples to taste,
and I found it Interesting, So I made an appointment to
see you.
THE $ALE~ You told me how great you're
much you would benefit Wanda's. I told
interested to know more, so I asked you
thoughts in writing.
~Q fOR IH~ LHR9AI; Instead of getting an outline of
what you plan on performing services, you brought me a
contract to hold me legally bound, still not telling me
what service you plan to perform.
BEJECTIQ.~;. Once you found out that I didn't appreciate
your methods of doing business, by aSking me to pay you
for services that you have yet performed, you use your
legal background to intimidate me.
going to be,
you I was
to put your
how
Ms. Candiel10, you are the legal expert. Is it fair and
legal for you to use your legal background to try to
intimidate me, to force me to pay for services not performed?
I receive vendor's nroposals for jobs most every day of the
week. When I turn down their service proposal, I don't
get stuck with a legal document bill. Where did you get off
by saying we have a legal oral binding agreement to perform
services? I belleve what constitutes an agreement is an
offer and an acceptance, Yes, you have made and offer, but
did I make an acceptance? DId we address any of the terms of
agrHement; Who, When, Where, How, Money for services?

I think it is selective hearing on your part. I was trying
to be a gracious host; but frankly, I find your methods of
doing business highly objectionable. I trust you will
reconsider your action on this matter and accept rejection
gracefully.
