Hospitality Rider

Also: hospitality contract, comfort rider

A hospitality rider lists the non-production needs of the artist's traveling party: catering preferences, dressing room stocking (drinks, snacks, towels), ground transport requirements, hotel preferences, runner allowances. Hospitality riders include both contractual obligations (catering by X time) and preferences (specific brands, dietary restrictions). Production teams treat hospitality riders as binding even when they're informal.
