·  We will bring all tables for the buffet, tents for covering the food (if necessary), service ware, trash and recycling bins

·  We will maintain the buffet and insure that it always looks nice and has plenty of food.  Our goal is to never have the last person through the line see only one small portion of each item to choose from.  The additional food to keep the buffet looking full is our responsibility and returns with us to the restaurant at the end of your event; there is never any “leftover or wasted” food.  We do not package and leave any food behind.

·  When a venue requires a Lead or Manager be present the billing is $60 per hour
