Minimum & Final Guest Count Guarantees

We require a final minimum guest count for larger events one (1) week prior to the event. We cannot decrease this number after that time. We can increase the order up to three (3) days prior to an event, but increases at this time may be subject to menu restrictions.

The Client is responsible for providing minimum guest counts prior to the deadline. If the Client does not confirm final guest count three (3) days prior to the event, the previously estimated count will be used for final billing purposes.

Deposits & Financial Terms

A confirmation deposit of $200 is due immediately to hold the date. This deposit is non-refundable. Thirty (30) days prior to your event, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the final bill is due. One (1) week prior to your event, the final balance is due in full. Any changes in guest count after final payment will be billed or refunded to the Client accordingly. Acceptable payment terms include: Cash, Check, Credit Card or an established University Purchase Order. A 2.5% processing fee will be charged to the Client for the use of a credit card.

Rental & Equipment Guidelines

12th Street Catering is responsible for payment of all rental bills secured by them on behalf of the client unless stated otherwise. Rental items will not be lent to Client without 12th Street Catering staff present to ensure their care & return. The Client is liable for any lost or damaged rental or 12th Street Catering-owned equipment at full replacement cost.

Event Overtime

There will be a charge of $50 per hour, per staff person, if the event goes over scheduled end time. The charge will automatically show on your final bill.
