1. Guaranteed Count: We will require the Guarantee Count usually ten working days before your function. This will insure that we can arrange staffing and purchase the necessary food. Once the guarantee is set it will not be subject to reduction. There will be an additional charge after the event for guest counts exceeding previously quoted number There will be an additional charge after the event for guest counts exceeding previously quoted number.

All guests are charged the same rate, unless the guest is a baby in arms who will not be using a plate, chair or napkin.

All prices are subject to service or delivery charges, and all applicable state and local taxes.

2. Service Charge: A 18% service charge is applicable to all invoices. (minimum of $100.00). The Service Charge is to cover the added overhead costs involved in serving a catered event at a site remote from our central Kitchen. Examples of these costs are vehicle maintenance and insurance, food transportation equipment and supplies. This fee is not directly distributed to the wait staff and therefore is taxable in the state of Texas.

3. Leftovers: At the caterer's discretion, you may keep your leftover food. This will depend on the condition of the food assuming the food meets local health department standards. Credit will not be issued for leftovers.

4. Sales Tax: Local and State taxes will be added to all food items and services. If your group is tax-exempt, a tax-exemption certificate is required prior to your function.

5. Gratuities: The total estimated cost does not include a gratuity for your service staff. We leave this to your discretion.

6. Payment: A deposit is required to book any function. Hedrick's Catering & Events requires a 10% non-refundable deposit and is based on the final estimated bill on all events. Deposit is non-refundable, due to the low probability of the caterer being able to book another function to recover the lost revenue. Until a deposit is received, the event will be considered as a proposal and can be preempted by booked functions.

The final payment is due on the day after the guest count/guarantee is given or no later than (10) days prior to event. If payment is not received within 10 days of the event, an additional 20% will be added to the final bill and the only payment that will be accepted will be cash or certified check.

Final payment is to be made by Checks, Certified Funds and Cash.

Additionally, the client shall be required to pay any cancellation fees required by supplier.
