WHAT IS OUR LEFT OVER POLICY?
Answer: We do not allow our guests to take left over’s. Classic Café in an effort to never run out of food, (thus avoiding a possible embarrassing situation), prepares extra food at our expense. We also honor our insurance companies request to discard any left over’s to avoid possible litigations if a food poisoning outbreak due to improperly handled food occur.
DO YOU CHARGE EXTRA FOR CHINA, GLASSWARE, TABLE LINENS, COFFEE SERVICE, OR OTHER SPECIAL REQUESTS?
Answer: Yes we do, please review our surcharge section. Special requests can be discussed during our initial meeting or phone conversation. If we can’t assist you in a special request, we can refer you to someone who has the expertise required to do so.
WHEN ARE FINAL GUEST COUNTS REQUIRED?
Answer: In most cases, any event held on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, we will need the expected guest count called into the office on the Wednesday prior to the date of your event. All other deadlines can be discussed during our meetings.
WHAT DOES THE FINAL EXPECTED GUEST COUNT MEAN?
Answer: The count called into our office will be the number of meals prepared plus a few extra, (at our expense). It is the number that we will use in calculating the total food cost portion of your bill.
DOES CLASSIC CAFÉ INC CHARGE A SERVICE CHARGE OR GRATUITY?
Answer: Yes we do, however not in all instances. Our normal gratuity surcharge is 15% of food charges only. Indiana sales tax of 8% is not included in service gratuity amount. The service gratuity is greatly reduced for non profit organizations, churches, church groups, schools, fund raisers, and at some area faculties that charge us and all caterers a 15% catering fee owed to the facility. As a result we greatly reduce our service gratuity fee in an effort to be fair and keep your total catering service costs as low as possible..
