ADDITIONAL SERVICES Cincinnati Catering understands that your life can be pretty hectic while planning a wedding and being able to one-stop shop simplifies your life. As such, we offer the following additional items for your convenience: Table linens Table runners Table overlays Chair covers Chair sashes Ask how these very affordable items can be incorporated into your package to create your custom look. There are many color options to choose from. Like the idea of a seated dinner, but don t love the cost? Consider a buffet style meal with china dinner plates, metal flatware, and linen napkins (platinum level service). Then, add on the pre-set accessories to meet your needs (i.e. plate chargers, water goblets, pre-set tossed salads or family-style salads, coffee cups, etc). It is all about you and your personal preferences. We supply a menu with our popular offerings as a guideline. Many of these menus are selected as outlined, but they are certainly able to be changed to accommodate your needs. Don t be afraid to ask. Consultation and tasting appointments are available as well, so give us a call! Want a little help or a lot? As a cost saving measure, rental items such as table linens, chair covers, etc. can be picked up in advance by the client for set up. If you prefer that our staff handle the set up, we ll be glad to accommodate you, too. We love children and generally they love our food. But, if you feel a menu with more kidfriendly items would suit you better, ask about creating a children s menu. We offer a discounted rate for the children off of our regular listed price. Be sure to check our website at www.cincinnaticatering.com for current promotions, additional information, and testimonials. 14
General Rules and Policies 1. Staffing levels will be determined based upon the level of service selected and the total guest count. Some personnel may automatically be included. Feel free to call our catering consultant to discuss this further and obtain a firm price quote. 2. When attended service is contracted, the buffet attendant will bring table linens to cover the client provided or venue provided buffet tables. In addition, chafing dishes will be brought to hold all hot items. The buffet attendant will set up, attend, and break down the buffet line. Generally, a buffet line would be left open for 20 minutes after the last person goes through the line the first time. 3. A surcharge may be applied to the listed costs when the client is ordering catering for the Colerain Township Community Center, the Fairfield Community Arts Center, the Fairfield Golf Course Clubhouse, The Grove, The Glendale Lyceum, Walden Ponds, Pyramid Hill Sculpture Park, The Contemporary Arts Center, The American Sign Museum, Longworth Hall, Rhinegeist Brewery, Timeless Charm, and Cincinnati-Hamilton County Community Action Agency properties. In addition, additional labor, linen, or beverage charges may be applicable depending upon the requirements of each facility. 4. Cincinnati Catering does not mandate any service charges or gratuities. When given at the client s discretion, gratuities are graciously accepted. 5. A delivery fee of $45.00 will apply. Deliveries into outlying areas may incur an increased delivery fee. 6. Clients may keep leftovers from the buffet line at the conclusion of the feeding time. Clients may provide their own bulk pans and foil, and Cincinnati Catering will transfer the food. If the client prefers that Cincinnati Catering provide the bulk pans and foil, a flat $15.00 fee will be assessed. The client must inform of Cincinnati Catering of their intentions to keep leftover food at the two week deadline. If leftovers are not desired, the food will be donated to a local soup kitchen. 7.
