Disposables Fee
If disposables are preferred or if China Service is not available, disposables will be provided at no additional charge. Bon Appétit provides compostable product that meets Edwards stainability standards, therefore providing your own disposables is not permitted.

packed for you in larger “Party Platter Style” disposable platters and bowls. There will be a charge for the requested disposables at $3.00 per platter or bowl.

Removing Unused Product
Items that remain on the buffet table may be available to take home. Please consult your Catering Manager for any items you may wish to take. Catering staff is not allowed to pack any food to go. Clamshell disposable containers are available for the purpose of taking leftovers away from your event. Clamshells are charged on consumption at $0.50 per piece. Please be sure to request these in advance.

Linens
Standard in-house linen is available for $2.00 per linen and $0.30 per linen napkin. Please note, some banquet tables require (2) linens. Standard colors are white, black and ivory. Additional colors are available but cannot be guaranteed. Please see your Catering Manager for additional linen options (including specialty rental linen).

Labor
For Catering requests with (50) or more guests, your Catering Manager will
recommend the appropriate staffing. Depending on the size and scope of your order, occasionally staffing will be recommended for events with less than (50) guests.

Staffing for Full Service Catering will be charged using the standard labor formula: (2) hours set-up + event time + (1) hour breakdown.

Labor is charged on the hour, not a portion thereof.

If your “Delivered” Catering order requires a “Refresh” of Coffee, it can be brought to you without meeting a separate minimum within (3) hours of the initial coffee order. If Coffee is needed more than (2) hours after the initial order, it will be considered a separate order altogether and will be billed per airpot
