Terms & Conditions
We accept cash and credit cards (guests are responsible for the 3% credit card surcharge) for in-store purchases. We do NOT accept debit gift cards.
For onsite and offsite catering booked through our catering staff, we accept checks if they are paid at least two weeks before the event.
A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your date, and full payment is due before the event.
For the best experience, especially if you’re looking for full service or delivery, we recommend reaching out as early as possible. Our full-service rates vary based on factors like menu selections, location, service style, and more. These rates can be calculated once we have those details. Delivery rates also depend on your location, with a typical starting rate of $275. Our team will be happy to provide an estimate.
We prefer two weeks’ notice or more, as this gives us the time to gather ingredients, prepare your meal, and plan every detail of your event. Full-service teams need to be scheduled, and many logistics require careful coordination. That said, we will always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests!
Preorder pickup offers the most flexibility and attractive savings, making it an excellent option for those who can plan ahead. The larger the event, the more important advance notice is to ensure availability and customization options.
Please note: During busy seasons or holiday periods, early booking is even more crucial to secure your desired date and service.
Feel free to contact us anytime with questions or to start planning your event. We’re here to help!
