I was a TD at a roadhouse that presented about 1/3 of our performances. From the technical end, the first thing you need is a rider from the technical contact. Once you have the rider, start going through and make a list of all the issues and things to negotiate. You can take care of many professional tours with one email and a followup call. Then of course you're on to booking crew, possibly renting gear etc.
I haven't had anything to do with the hospitality end of things, but if you have any technical advancing questions, feel free to post them or fire them my way in a PM.
Cheers.
