The Bilingual Waiver.

Indoor live-flame teppanyaki is a real culinary art and a real liability. Before Chef BENIHAHA arrives at your venue, every host signs the same attorney-reviewed bilingual agreement protecting your property, our team, and your guests. The signing flow takes about three minutes.

Common Questions · 常见问题
What hosts ask before signing.
Is this legally binding if I sign electronically?
Yes. The signing flow is built around the federal E-SIGN Act (2000) and New York's UETA (2002). Your electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, with full audit trail (timestamp, signing ID, IP-verified delivery).
Can I sign in Chinese?
Yes. The document is rendered in parallel English and 中文. The English text is the controlling text in any conflict of interpretation — standard for bilingual contracts — but every clause has a side-by-side Chinese translation for clarity.
Can my corporate venue's legal team review first?
Yes. We can email a clean preview PDF to your legal or HR team before issuing the signing link. Mention this in the request form's phone field or email Info@ezhomakase.com.
Who else needs to see this — building management?
For high-rise apartments and condos, building management often requires (a) a copy of our $1M Certificate of Insurance and (b) their own confirmation form. Forward the COI to them at least 7 days before the event. We deliver the COI on request.
What happens after I sign?
The countersigned PDF is filed to our records, a copy is emailed to you instantly, and our event coordinator receives a notification to begin event logistics — menu confirmation, allergy intake, parking, kitchen access, and pre-event call.
