FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Standard rate is by the hour and quoted based on number of hours, number of guests and tip jar availability. Additional gratuity is appreciated. It's customary for the host to tip 20-25% regardless of whether a tip jar is allowed. Garnishes (limes, lemons, olives, etc.), mixers, ice, etc. are priced at cost plus 20%. If glassware is required, it's recommended that the party host rent the glassware themselves.
