dinner counts
Most events require an accurate dinner count of each individual attending within 10%. If you have a pre-arranged menu, please have the food counts to us two weeks in advance to the event to properly handle your orders. If your special event has been approved to “order off the regular menu”, a guaranteed person count needs to be given to us 48-hours prior to the event.
We request a final count of persons attending the event two days prior to the event. You will be responsible for the number of dinners ordered at that time. You must guarantee a minimum number of people; if less than your confirmed number attends, there may be a room charge of $50 to $400, depending on type of reservation.
Audio/Visual aids are available for rental. We will provide set up of the equipment (set up requires a $25 fee). We have a projector screen available at $25 and a 48” flat screen t.v. for $75.
If you have any questions regarding your arrangements, please call Mary Ann from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Monday thru Friday at 330-453-8424.
