CATERING POLICIES

Thank you for booking your event with us. In order to serve our customers in the most professional manner, clear communication of our company policy is very important. Please keep in mind the following points.

CONSULTATIONS
Consultations are planned as part of the development of the Event plans. At least one of these must be at the Event site. We will be available for as many consultations as it takes to insure that your event goes off without a hitch and to answer all questions needed to be answered regarding the Event.

SET-UP / BREAKDOWN
We do not include table and chair set-up in our pricing. If you need us to provide set-up, breakdown or clean-up of your Event site, we will be happy to provide this service for you at the price of $1.00 per person. Set-up of double chair events which require chair movement from ceremony to reception area or sites with extra clean-up will be charged extra for the labor. Pricing is based on ground level locations; or an elevator is to be provided. We begin to pack up during the dining phase of your event. Once we move beyond the dining phase we will leave certain leftover items on the buffet tables that you provided for the buffet. We will be glad to order the 8' tables (4) for you.

DEPOSITS & CANCELLATIONS
We do not "pencil-in" bookings. When you are ready to book our services, we require a deposit of 25% of initial bill to hold the date. Dates are booked on a deposit only basis and not on the fact that we have been discussing your event. This deposit will be applied toward your final bill ( which will include the service fees, taxes, delivery charges and gratuity ). Short notice catering requests must be paid in full prior to the request date. In the event that your event should cancel for any reason, your deposit or short notice invoice is nonrefundable.

LEFTOVER FOODS
For your safety and the safety of our guests, we do not allow potentially hazardous foods to remain in service beyond two hours. We will take care of proper disposal. In addition, prepared foods that are not consumed at a catering event may not be removed from the serving area unless previously confirmed. Our " All you can Eat" Menus are just that and are not intended for take home or carryout in addition to the Buffet.

TOTAL GUEST COUNT
We allow short notice increases to your total guest count, however any reductions to your total guest count must be made 7 days prior to the scheduled event.

PAYMENT
All payments are due, in full, 7 days prior to the day of the event. The invoice for your event will show a Balance Due, which will reflect any payments or deposits that have been applied to your Grand Total. Payment can be made in the form of cash, check, credit card or money order. In the event that collection costs become necessary, any costs incurred regarding the collection of your debt will be added to the total amount due. In the event any amount due hereunder is not paid when due and Convenient Chef engages an attorney for collection purposes, or in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, whether or not litigation is commenced, then you shall pay Convenient Chef its attorney’s fees (including your attorney's fees), All Convenient Chef expenses and court costs in addition to the full amount due hereunder. In the event any amount due hereunder is not paid when due, you shall pay Convenient Chef interest on said amount at the rate of 18% per annum.

TAXES / GRATUITY
Tax exempt organizations are responsible for providing appropriate documentation prior to the event. Call us Old Fashioned, but we believe that a Gratuity should not be mandatory. Therefore, we never include a Gratuity on the bill until instructed to do so by the client. Our Onsite Staff and our Behind the Scenes Staff Gratefully appreciate your acknowledgement.  When a gratuity is paid to us, it is passed on to every one of our service personnel whether they where present at the function or worked, unseen, equally as hard in the days prior to the event.

LIABILITY
Convenient Chef is not responsible for damaged or lost merchandise or articles left or sent, prior to, during, or following an event. Convenient Chef will do everything it can to accommodate any delays at the request of the host or guests representing the host for any reason but Convenient Chef cannot be held responsible for the outcome of such delays.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
So that Convenient Chef does not risk endangering the integrity of the event or persons involved, we require that all locations must meet the health code regulations needed in order to serve food.

Convenient Chef cannot be responsible for the quality of food if your event does not begin at the specified time or goes beyond the 1 1/2 hour buffet service time, unless prior arrangements have been made with us. Convenient Chef will do all it can within it's power to maintain the integrity of the food and you will assume all risks for any delays for any reason. Additional labor charges may apply.
