Guidelines
Guarantees
A signed facility rental contract from Overture Center for the Arts is required to obtain a catering contract from Catering a Fresco. All menu details must be finalized no later than two weeks prior to an event. A final guest count is required 8 business days (by noon) in advance of an event. The number of guests guaranteed may not be decreased after this point. If a final guest count is not received by the specified date, the preliminary guest count (as noted in the initial Overture Center contract) will be the official and accountable guarantee. For groups of 250 guests or more, menus are subject to catering approval.
Deposits
Clients must place a credit card on file when returning a signed contract. All food payments are due 6 business days (by noon) in advance of an event and can be paid by cash, check or major credit card. Large events and weddings require a deposit in the amount of 50% of the estimated food bill, due 3 calendar months in advance of the event via check. Changes made after this point will be reflected on the final bar bill at the end of the event. Corporate accounts may request direct billing privileges, but this must be arranged before your event. Bar invoices are due at the close of your event before departure and can be paid by credit card or check. Corporate invoices are due within 15 calendar days of the event. If your company is tax exempt, a copy of your State Sales Tax Exempt Certificate needs to be provided with your signed contract. Full payment for food is still required if your event is canceled within 10 calendar days prior. Final food payment is due 2 calendar weeks in advance of event.
Menus
It is our policy to quote firm prices for menu items no more than 60 days in advance and all menu substitutions may be subject to a price change. All food and hosted beverages are subject to a 20% service charge. This is not the property of any one employee. This charge is also subject to a 5.5% sales tax. Prices do not include these charges unless the quoted price is described as "inclusive." Chef attendants for Interactive Stations will be billed at an hourly rate of $25 with a three-hour minimum.
Bar Fees and Policies
Bartenders will be charged at a rate of $25 per hour per bartender for cash bars and $15 per hour per bartender for hosted bars from one hour before your event until one hour after your event. A combined bar of hosted/cash beverages will be charged at the rate of $25 per hour per bartender. There is a 3-hour minimum charge per bartender. Catering a Fresco reserves the right to refuse alcoholic beverage service to anyone under the age of 21 years. Hosted bar prices are subject to the 20% service charge and applicable sales tax.

In order to ensure proper service levels, Catering a Fresco reserves the right to determine the amount of bartenders necessary to serve each function.
