Important Reminders

As with any type of business, there is a wide range of companies from which to choose. When planning a special event, you want to make sure you work with a caterer that is fully qualified to produce the best party for the best price. Here is a list of important facts to check with any caterer you use.

Do they have a business license?
Do they have up to date health permits?
Do they have adequate liability insurance?
Do they have a permit to sell alcohol as a caterer at your site? Is it a beer and wine or full beverage license? (Catering permit license - type 58)
Do they have workers compensation insurance?
If they book other vendors, does the event planner ensure that those vendors are insured?
How many years have they been in business?
Do they have references available for you to check?
Do they offer tastings?
What organizations do they belong to? (Such as the National Association of Catering Executives, the local chamber of commerce, the Better Business Bureau, etc.)

We remind you to ask these important questions to any company you may consider for your next event. A caterer should be able to fax you proof to any of the questions per your request. It is especially important to consider the issues of insurance and liquor permits so as to protect yourself or your company.

Pricing Information

When planning any sort of event, we have a list of general questions which you need to consider when calculating your budget. We have listed some of the questions below:

What kind of food services do you want? Sit down or buffet? Do you want hor d'ouvers? Do you just want something dropped off or do you want to have servers at your event to set-up, serve, and clean-up?
Do you want a bar package? Do you want a cash bar or an open bar? Do you want domestic or premium beverages?
Are you looking for entertainment? Do you want a live band, a DJ, clowns, theme characters, interactive games, etc.?
Does the site you are having the event at have its own tables and equipment? Will you need additional chairs?
What do you want on the tables - flower centerpieces, linens, silverware, china, etc.?
Do you have any special decorations or props in mind?
Do you require any special arrangements such as Valet Service, Spot Lights, Cigars & Brandy, Red Carpets, Casino Tables, etc.?

Our event coordinators will design a custom proposal based on your specific requirements and the total price will include all costs, including sales tax. As a reminder, make sure when comparing other caterers, you know the full cost of all services.

We do have package pricing, which is inclusive of food, service, rental, site fee, and entertainment. These packages are available at our picnic grounds (Club Almaden) and our banquest facility (Hoagies Deli Cafe). All off site parties and events will have a customized proposal. Call today for more information at 408-727-6408!
