If payment for a delivered cater will be made by credit card , your number will be recorded (securely) and processed prior to leaving the shop. Checks and cash are also acceptable forms of payment
- Depending upon the complexities and size of an event, a contract may be drafted to clarify expectations on both sides

Plan notes:
- Ribs and Chicken Halves are only options on plans 3 and 4—add $2.00 per person to include these meats as options
- A selection of products can be provided to offer a variety—you may divide the meats and/or sides into more than one item. The event head count will determine how many items you can/should offer.
Please understand that the catering business is extremely detail oriented. We prefer as much notice as possible. This will help ensure your time and date are available, and that no detail regarding products, services, or staffing is overlooked.
