Contract

In order for The Savory Palate to secure an event date, The Savory Palate must have received a signed contract from the client accompanied by a 50% deposit.

Guest Count

A guaranteed guest count is due seven days prior to the event. If the guarantee is not received by the designated date, your last estimated number of guests will be considered your final guarantee. You will be charged for this number, or the actual number, whichever is greater. If there is an increase in the number of guests after the seven day deadline, the client will be responsible for paying the per person price for the overage and the exact menu cannot be guaranteed. Menu items are subject to fresh market availability and substitutions may be required.

Staff

Your proposal will state the number of service staff required for your event. Please note that service hours include travel time to and from your event.

Outside Food

The Savory Palate, once contracted, is responsible for providing all food for the event. If the client requests to provide food from another source, it will require prior approval of The Savory Palate.

Leftover Food

Due to health and safety regulations, food remaining at the end of the event is the property of The Savory Palate and will be left for the guests' enjoyment only at the discretion of The Savory Palate.

Rentals

The Savory Palate will be happy to make all rental arrangements on your behalf. This will incur a 15% service charge based on the rental charge.

Billing

The balance will be due 5 days prior to the scheduled event and is based on the guaranteed guest count.

Gratuity

Pricing does not include gratuity. Gratuity is at the discretion of the client. 

Method of Payment

Cash or check. Please make checks payable to: The Savory Palate.

In the Event of Cancellation

Written notice of cancellations must be received within 30 days of the event in order to receive a full refund of deposit less any unrecoverable costs. If the event needs to be rescheduled and notice is given within 7 business days of the event, Savory Palate will credit the deposit toward the client's next event, less charges for any unrecoverable costs. If the client is unable to reschedule, the 50% deposit is non-refundable and the client will be billed for for food and materials purchased for the event.

We are confident that in choosing The Savory Palate as your caterer you will have a truly memorable and enjoyable day, complete with a splendid feast, tasteful decor and courteous service.

Thank you for considering The Savory Palate. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions you may have.
