the fine print
Office Hours
Our office/admin days are Mondays & Tuesdays each week, so please be mindful that any enquiries we receive will be responded to at the beginning of the week.
Due to the nature of our catering business, we are often unable to take calls as we may be in the middle of catering for another client. In this respect, the best form of contact is via email or text msg.
staffing costs
Each menu and event will come with it’s own staffing costs. These costs are at a rate of $40 per hour for each staff member.
Ratios ( for wait staff )
1 : wait staff to every 30 : guests
Approx time frame for each menu:
- Quick & Easy set menu – 2 hours
- The Base Menu – 2 / 2.5 hours
- The Range menu – 2.5 / 3 hours
- The Exclusive menu – 3 hours
All times are approx and dependant on guest numbers.
The Italian Feast Menu pricing includes staffing costs so the above does not apply.
