Catering Policies

RESERVATION HOLDS:

Reservations with specified dates are held and valid 10 days from the the day the proposal is sent out by the S2S catering sales team. Reservation date will be held in that ten day time frame in which you are able to approve the proposal and secure the reservation with a 25% deposit. Your date will not be held after the 10 day mark without a deposit or initiation of communication needs that require further plans and arrangements in that time period that may require the date hold to be extended.

DEPOSITS/FINAL PAYMENTS:

A 25% or 50% non-refundable deposit based on the guarantee is required to secure your reservation for catering services. This payment is due immediately upon receiving the deposit invoice or within 7 days if being mailed to guarantee your reservation will be held.

Final payment balances for all services and products are required 14 days prior to the event date.

GUEST COUNT:

A final guest count is required 10 days prior to the event date and when collecting RSVP’s for attendees or making specific dinner choices for guests. A final invoice will be sent prior to the 10 day mark to initiate the minimum cost due for your event. If your guest count goes below the minimum number, after the 10 day mark, you will still be charged for these meals and S2S staff will pack these dinners up for you to take following the event.

Extra guests or additions to the guest count may be added up to 5 days prior to the event by e-mail request only. In order for these requests to be granted, S2S will send a confirmation email approving these requests. A new final invoice will be sent with each addition. Additions made after three day mark before the event may or may not be granted depending on availability of products on late notice.

Final counts that include dinner options must supply a guest list and seating chart with each guests choice noted. Name cards are required to be placed on the tables before guests are seated with dinner choice noted by a code system that is agreed upon in advance or approved by the catering service manager.

In the event of non-payment, S2S retains the right to attempt collection through all legal and permissible means. Client will be responsible for all court fees, legal fees, and collection costs incurred by S2S.

Client shall be charged $50 for each returned check
