Delivery and Service fees
In order to keep the pricing fair, delivery fees are additional variable expenses beyond the listed menu prices and are based on distance. The fee covers fuel, man-hours and equipment depreciation.
Drop-Off Corporate Orders
Orders can be placed online 48 hours before the event date. Changes must be phoned into our office between 8:30 AM and 4:00 PM. Any changes made after 3:30 PM the day prior to your event will be charged a $10 late change fee. Cancellations must be called into our office and confirmed by email. Food and beverage orders may be canceled, by telephone, without penalty, by 3:30 PM the business day prior to your event. Same-day cancellations will be charged full price.
Corporate events more than $2,000 require a 50% deposit in order to guarantee service on your requested date. Payment in full is due prior to food service on your event date. Adjustments to your final guest count must be phoned in to our office by seven days prior to your event date. After that date, guest count decreases will not be accepted. Reasonable increases may be accepted up until 48 hours prior to your event. The deposit for equipment is nonrefundable. Those items cannot be canceled. There is no cancellation policy once our services have been contracted.
Drop-Off Residential Orders
Drop-off residential events have a $500 order minimum before tax and delivery. We require signed contracts five days prior to the event in order to guarantee service. If notice is given with less than five days, menu items are subject to availability. Changes to the guest count and cancellations will only be accepted during business hours up to two business days prior to the event. Changes or cancellations will not be accepted via email or fax. Payment is required in full by either credit or debit card and will be charged before the day of delivery.
Insurance
Tasty Catering and its clients are protected by the maximum recommended coverage in product liability, auto, worker’s compensation and liquor liability insurance. Certificates of insurance are provided upon request. Clients who require to be named additional insured on our policies will incur a $50 fee to cover that expense. Any additional insurance coverage requested by our clients will be at an additional expense to the client.
Price Increases
Some commodities may increase in price, while at the same time others may drop during the life cycle of a menu. Tasty Catering’s chief procurement officer and our trustworthy vendors anticipate market price increases prior to menu publication. However, the economic market, the potential for inflation or recession, increasing fuel prices and food shortages could cause a need to raise prices. A price raise would only be implemented to protect the well-being of our staff, increases to our food, packaging and transportation costs and other such expenses
