Welcome to Eddie B Cookin'
Thank you for inquiring about our catering services! There are two main components we could provide for your event. The first is the food and the second is the staff. The Menus: There are many components that go into the preparation of each party we cater and need to understand the entire scope of your event requirements before we can quote you an exact price. For example, there is a $3.00 per person up charge for parties of 30 people or less. Like the price of gas, food costs continue to rise and some items are subject to availability. The location you select for your event might affect the pricing. Some venues have professional “Commercial” sized NSF kitchens; some will have no kitchen at all. It could be necessary to rent an extra oven and have it delivered to the site …there are many other factors. So we need to prepare a proposal in order to provide you with useful information. Menu pricing includes chaffing dishes, basic plastic ware, plastic utensils, and paper napkins. Menu pricing does not include sales tax, staffing, gratuities, tables, trash cans, large kitchen equipment, linens, china, flatware, etc. The Staffing: We also do not desire to overwork our staff, because they deserve to be treated well. We require them to work safely and efficiently. The Servers & Kitchen Staff are not asked to lift excessive weight to speed up unloading, and they will not be asked to forego required breaks to shorten prep time. The duties Kitchen Staff includes unloading the truck or car. This has to be done with care and safety to avoid damage to the cargo, venue, or to themselves. Sometimes the food prep area has to be organized. Room made in the refrigerators, personal items cleared from counters… adding to set up time. The Kitchen Staff prepares and heats appetizers or main entrees, plates salads, desserts, and organizes the flow of food out of the kitchen. The Serving Staff will also help unload cargo, sometimes a distance from the parking area to the final destination. They layout the buffet tables and set up coffee & tea bars. If necessary they will place linens, set tables with china, flatware, and then change into their serving uniforms. At wedding receptions they may be asked to cut and plate the wedding cake... and in the end help bus, break down, clean and reload the cargo. Labor Rates: General Guidelines for “Sit Down” plated service are: General Guidelines for “Buffet” style service are: Servers and Kitchen Staff are booked for a minimum of four hours. Continued...
