Policy

ORDERING TIMELINE

All menus should be finalized 7-10 business days prior to your event. In the case your event is made on short notice, we will be more than happy to assist you; however, menu selections may be limited. A late booking fee of $15.00 or 15%, whichever is greater, may be added to any event that that is scheduled within 72 hours. GUARANTEE COUNTS A final meal count is required no later than 72 hours prior to the event and will not be decreased after this date for final billing purposes. Event billing is based on the guarantee or the number served, whichever is greater. A service charge will be added to all orders that do not meet the minimum number of guests. CANCELLATIONS Please notify the Catering Office of all cancellations as soon as possible. Events or menu items cancelled less than 72 hours prior to the event dated may be billed 100% of the total invoice.

WAIT STAFF

Wait staff service is not included at receptions for the purpose of replenishing items, passing hors d'oeuvres, and clearing china or other cater ware as it accumulates. Catering Services will be willing to provide these services upon request at a cost of $20 per hour, per wait staff. There will be a minimum charge of three hours per wait staff. Additional labor charges will be incurred in cases where the event time is more than two hours from the initial serving time. Attendant serving charges are waived for the first two hours of served entrees and buffets.

DELIVERY CHARGE

There will be a $50 delivery fee applied to all orders executed off campus.

EQUIPMENT

All equipment provided for a non-attendant function shall be the responsibility of the contracted group. Food, beverages and serving equipment may not be removed from any event. We regret that any unconsumed food during the event may not be removed from the serving location, due to our internal company safety regulations. Removal of serving equipment will result in replacement value being added to the billing invoice.

LINENS

We will provide linen for all food and beverage tables. Also included are table linens for all buffet and entrée menu selections. In the event you request linen for additional non-food service tables, a nominal charge may be assessed.

GLUTEN-SENSITIVE & ALLERGEN DISCLAIMER

We prepare Gluten-Sensitive (GS) items in the same kitchen as other allergens. Although we take careful measures to avoid cross-contamination, we do not have a certified Gluten-Sensitive kitchen and AVI is not liable for any illness associated with our Gluten-Sensitive offerings. Please inquire about making selections with any allergy requirements before placing your order.
