We are more than happy to provide complimentary durable black plastic plates as well as cutlery, paper napkins, and wet naps.
How many servers will I need?
As a rule of thumb, we recommend 1 server per 30 guests. We staff a minimum of 2 Servers per event.
What can I expect of the servers at my event?
For your event you will be assigned a Captain who will be your point of contact throughout the day.

There is also an administrative onsite fee based on the total food order that is charged to all events to cover equipment, fuel, insurance, permits, and other miscellaneous charges.
Is gratuity automatically added to the bill?
We do not add gratuity to your bill as we believe this is at the discretion of our guests based on the level of hospitality received. Our team will work hard to ensure that your event goes smoothly and that everything is to your satisfaction. Our staff is appreciative of any gratuity that you should choose to provide.

How long do I have until my final head count is needed?
We ask that you provide us with your final head count within 5 days of your event.
