​

How far ahead of my event must my order be confirmed?

​

All catering orders must be confirmed within 72 hours of your event. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee the fulfillment of any orders placed with less than 72 hours notice. As we only utilize fresh, natural, and sustainable ingredients,  it is vital we receive sufficient notice in order to order everything we need to accommodate your event.

 

Any catering larger than 100 guests must be confirmed one week ahead of the event date.

​

Can I change the headcount after my order has been confirmed?

 

Changes can be made up to 72 hours in advance of your event. Any adjustments after that point, are subject to availability and a 20% surcharge.

 

How do I pay for my order?

You are welcome to pay with cash or credit card (we accept all major credit cards).   We require a check or credit card to guarantee all orders. There is a 3.0% service fee for use of a credit card. A deposit is required to hold your event date  for all orders over $5,000. This is important to note, as On Safari Foods is a first come, first served catering company. One week prior to your event, we require 75% of the total amount due.  You will be billed at the end of your event for the remainder.

 

Is a gratuity automatically added to my order?

We charge an admin fee of 20% to cover the cost of processing your order, depending on whether it is staffed or not.  At the higher rate, a small portion goes to the staff. Should you wish to leave anything extra for your server(s), please add it to your bill when you pay the final amount.

 

What is your cancellation policy?

Please let us know as soon as possible if you need to cancel you order. Orders that are canceled less than two full days before the scheduled event date will be charged 100% of the total invoice. This charge is to cover foods that cannot be used, labor, rental goods, and other orders we may have declined to accommodate your event. This policy applies to all reasons for event cancellation, including inclement weather.
