Staff

  à la Carte Kitchen operates its own in-house staffing service. All service staff are paid a four hour minimum. Service staff are elegantly dressed in white shirts with ties and black trousers. If your party requires alternate attire for the service staff, please inquire.

Decor and Entertainment

  We are pleased to assist you in your decor and entertainment requirements.

Rentals

  à la Carte Kitchen will be pleased to present you with a rental quote for china, flatware, linens, tables, glassware, etc. if these items are required. Rentals are billed directly to the client by the rental company. We recommend two company's each with excellent reputations: Chairman Mills Inc. and Exclusive Affair Rentals.

Dietary Restrictions

  à la Carte Kitchen is pleased to respect any dietary restrictions and/or food allergies of your guests. Please voice your requests with one of our event designers.

Guest Count

  The minimum guest count is 8 people, unless otherwise noted. We require a confirmed guest count three business days prior to the function. A guest count may increase in numbers but cannot decrease once a confirmed number has been provided. This restriction is due to the ordering of foods and preparation time required by the kitchen.

Delivery Charges

  Modest delivery charges plus taxes apply to all orders.

Service Charge and Taxes

  The prevailing federal and provincial taxes are applied where required. All catered foods are subject to both GST + PST, as are service staff.
A 15% service charge is to be applied to the menu charge only, when service staff are in attendance. This charge covers consultation, administration and on-site inspections.

Payments

  A deposit of 60% of the total approximate cost is required to confirm arrangements. The outstanding amount is to be paid upon receipt of invoice. à la Carte Kitchen reserves the right to request a credit card number (corporate or personal) as a confirmation of order.
