FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Food & Beverage
Absolutely! Please let us know of any restrictions prior to the event so that our culinary team can be prepared with the appropriate food items.
A "chef's selection" is a menu curated by the chef, based on other programs/products in-house and in production at the time of your event. This is a great way to economize for our clients, while still offering a wide array of delicious choices.
Yes, please inquire about the various options for tastings.
The final guest count and menu choices are due (10) business days prior to your event. After this time, we can always increase the guest count or add to the program.
If there are any last minute changes to the program, please call your catering manager ASAP. We will do our best to accommodate and make the necessary changes for you!
Of course! Please let your catering manager know if you would like us to provide "kid-friendly" food at your event. We are happy to provide you with some menu suggestions.
Yes – please let your catering manager know prior to the event how many vendor meals are needed. Vendor meals are offered for a minimal charge.
While we are not a kosher caterer, we have relationships with the best kosher caterers and restaurants. If requested, we will work with one of our kosher catering partners to accommodate your needs for kosher meals.
Yes, clients may provide the alcohol if they would like. Eggwhites would provide a "mixer package", which includes all of the other necessary components of the bar (soft drinks, mixers, water, bar garnishes, ice, bar equipment and bartenders). By using Eggwhites staff for the bar/beverage service, your event is covered by our liquor liability insurance.
Service Standards
The staff to guest ratio varies depending on a number of factors including the type and complexity of the event.
Our service staff wears all black uniforms (long sleeve button-down open collared dress shirt, black dress pants and black dress shoes).
Depending on the complexity of the event, Eggwhites may wish to conduct a "site inspection" prior to the event to ensure that we understand the venue logistics. We are very familiar with many South Florida venues, so this is not always necessary.
Pricing
Yes, however our programs are discounted based on payments by check, cash or wire transfer.
The deposit value is 50% of the program total. Please talk to your catering manager about alternative payment plans.
Final payment (along with final guest count and menu selections) is due 10 business days prior to your event. After this time, we can always increase guest counts or add to the program.
The service fee is related to the administration of the event and covers some of the overhead costs associated with running a catering business. The service fee is unrelated to a gratuity; it is not synonymous with a gratuity. Tips/gratuity for the staff are appreciated and at the sole discretion of the client.
The only fee that may not be listed in the initial proposal is local sales tax. If there are costs for any venue/galley fees, permitting fees, additional insurance requirements, etc., they are passed through to the client.
Insurance
Yes, copies of coverage available upon request.
Yes, copies of license available upon request.
Yes, this can be provided at no additional cost if requested.
