FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Be ready to hire. Be professional and responsive to correspondence. My per person minimum is $120 food only. DOES NOT INCLUDE LABOR, TAX, GRATUITY, and possible delivery charges. All rental charges are paid by the Client. Total food & beverage minimum is $1,000.00 per event. Be committed to hire and the date you've chosen within 5 days of contact. Be respectful of my time and I'll be respectful of yours. Every lead costs me $70 so please no frivolous questions that are answered in these sections.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love getting to know my clients with some initial consultations to better understand their needs. I take it upon myself to help them develop their desires into executable plans with my twist. I write a customized menu for all clients. There are no cookie cutter menus like all the chefs here on Thumbtack as I've been told by all my clients. Yours will be a customized experience to exceed your expectations and allow your guests of honor be the star of the showand food and service but excellent supporting actors of your gathering.
