How far in advance do I need to place my order?The soon the better. We prefer 24-hour notice; however, we specialize in last-minute orders. Do not hesitate to give us a call. We are here for you.
-
Do you have a cancellation policy?Yes, you must cancel your order at least 24 hours prior to the day of your scheduled delivery.
-
Once the guest count is given, do you allow changes to be made?"We request a final guest count be provided no later than 5 business days prior to your event. The reason we have a cut-off date is so that the proper amount of food can be ordered without having excessive waste and to ensure that there is enough for the count intended. Increases in the count are allowed 72 hours before the event. However, keep in mind that when the guest count increases there are several other aspects of the event that may need to be increased, such as number of tables, table linens, serving ware, favors, etc.
-
Do you deliver on weekends?Yes. Please inquire to make those special arrangements.
-
What is your earliest and latest delivery time?The earliest we deliver is 6 a.m. and latest is 7 p.m. Please inquire about special delivery times. We always do our best to meet your business needs.
-
Do you require a catering contract?It all depends on the event and our current business relationship with your company. However, it never hurts to have everything in writing, so both parties are clear about the catering arrangements. A catering agreement is generally required for large corporate events. These agreements work out every detail of the catering services to insure you have an outstanding event and all of your needs are met.
-
What can you do for guests with allergies and dietary restrictions?Special diets - like kosher, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free - are a major concern for some guests. Our chefs will gladly prepare special items for those guests with dietary restrictions. Please let our event planner know in advance if your guests require special meals.
