We are excited to have the opportunity to
bid on your catering. We prefer to custom bid each catering so that it
will fit your specific needs. Each bid starts with pricing that
includes food, condiments, and beverages only. We will breakdown each
detail so that you are aware of all expenses. We respectfully ask for
a forty-eight hour or more notice when ordering.
We will
set-up your meal buffet style and come back to pick it up when finished
for up to 75 guests without a staff member to stay with you. Any event
over 75 guests will require hiring one or more servers. We will gladly
provide you with service staff for $125.00 per server to maintain the
buffet line and service your guest needs. Service staff is based on a
four-hour minimum. Additional charges apply for over four hours.
Pick-up of our equipment to be arranged during our normal operating
hours. You will be responsible for our equipment until picked up.
On
our buffet lines, we use nice chafing dishes for the hot foods. Our
cold foods are presented in decorative plastic bowls that are nicely
garnished. We use baskets and cloth napkins for miscellaneous items
such as rolls, silverware and condiments. Real china, silver, or
pottery may be substituted for the plastic, upon request, and may
require an additional charge.
Any rentals of linens, china,
glassware, flatware, equipment, etc. can be ordered through us and will
be at the client's expense. We will gladly help you decide what your
specific needs are and prepare an estimated quote on those needs.
Client is responsible for any rentals damaged by guests.
The
numbers of guests you guarantee are the number of guests we prepare
for. Your guest count guarantee is a 100% guarantee. If your guest
count is under, you still pay the full guarantee. If the guest count is
over your guarantee, you pay the overages. Overages to be determined
by an actual head count and/or a plate count at the event by our on
site manager. We ask you to give us your guest count guarantee five (5)
days prior to the event. You may increase this count up to 48 hours
prior to the event, but you cannot decrease it, as our preparation has
already begun.
When we are on location to serve food, we
usually carry more than we expect to serve (running out is a traumatic
experience). While maintaining the proper food temperature our holding
times are extended. Due to this factor, in cooperation with the
Oklahoma City County Health Department, we will not release our extra
foods to you or your guests. Regarding other issues please refer to our
Leftover Food Waiver.
Any buffet or sit down meal requiring
real china and glassware will have a 15% gratuity added to cover the
staff necessary to give your guests the full attention they deserve.
This includes the removal of plates and utensils as well as refilling
beverages. All caterings using disposable dinnerware will have a 15%
service charge to cover those items. These charges may vary depending
on the size of your event.
Johnnie's Catering requires a
deposit of 1/3 of the total amount due to reserve the date of your
event. The balance is due prior to the event unless other arrangements
have been made. Cancellations of confirmed events sixty (60) days prior
to the event are subject to a cancellation fee. This fee is no less
than 10% of the proposed cost of the event and no greater than the
total of actual costs incurred in the preparation of the event.
All
pricing of food and beverage is subject to current sales taxes. Sales
tax rate is to be determined by the city, county and state rates for
the location we deliver to. We feel gratuities are earned and therefore
leave those to your discretion.
Our professional staff is
eager to customize a menu to fit your occasion. We also welcome your
suggestions and comments. It is our sincere desire to make you and
your guests 110% satisfied with any catering from our company.
Because you have a need, we have an opportunity.
You have a choice, so we must be superior.
You have expectations, we must exceed them.
You have a memory, so we must be legendary.
Because of you, the customer, we exist.
