On New Yeаr’s Dаy 2019, Chef Rex оpened Fооdie Cаpital in Nashville, Tennessee. It soon became the most popular Southern comfort food restaurant among single adults and young married couples and soon expanded its repertoire to preparing food for weddings and special events on weekends. Chef Rex hired other associate chefs to meet this growing demand. To better serve weddings and special events, on July 1, 2019, Rex called his close friend Kate, the president of Kater Perfect, which specialized in delivery of prepared foods in vehicles with special warming equipment, plus set-up, serving of the food, and clean-up at special events. Rex asked Kate if Kater Perfect would perform its services exclusively for Food Capital and fulfill all Foodie Capital catering needs, regardless of the quantity, for the next two years. In exchange, Food Capital would hire no other food delivery company and would pay Kater Perfect 20% of its gross monthly revenue, and Kater Perfect would keep 100% of the tips it received. Kate agreed, but they never put their arrangement in writing. The two companies performed together seamlessly and successfully. Then, in March 15, 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic prompted a shutdown of all area restaurants and events. Foodie Capital adjusted its business model to prepare pre-cooked packaged Southern comfort food, and Kater Perfect delivered these meals promptly in the most sanitary, microwavable, disposable containers. Business boomed tenfold, and deliveries reached a vastly greater geographic region. Given the high demand, on July 1, 2020, Kate called Rex to tell him that Kater Perfect would only continue its services if it received an increase to 40% of the gross monthly revenue. Knowing that food delivery was so essential to success, Rex reluctantly agreed. He later texted Kate, “Good with what we discussed. Rising tide lifts all boats. We’re both making it big time.” Regretting the changed arrangement the next day, Chef Rex asked his sister Cleo to manage a separate subsidiary company he would launch called Southern Comfort to serve the Western end of Nashville, which was 50% of their customer base. He would allow her to hire half of his associate chefs and they would hire a different food delivery company that they would serve that population for 10% of the gross monthly revenue. Southern Comfort launched one month later. On October 1st, after three months, Kate noticed that the payments from Foodie Capital were decreasing. She learned from an insider at Foodie Capital that Kater Perfect was still only receiving 20% of Foodie Capital’s gross monthly revenue instead of the 40%, despite the promise from Rex, and that this new competitor in the market, Southern Comfort, was actually owned by Rex as well. In the three months since Kate and Rex had agreed to the increase from 20% to 40%, Foodie Capital has earned monthly revenue of $4,000,000 (July), $2,000,000 (August), and $2,000,000 (September). In the two months since it launched, Southern Comfort has earned monthly revenue of $2,000,000 (August) and $2,000,000 (September). Kater Perfect sues Foodie Capital for breach of contract. What claims can Kater Perfect assert against Foodie Capital? What defenses can Foodie Capital raise against Kater Perfect?
