HOW WE CAN HELP?
Our office is open from 8:00am-5pm Monday-Friday and Saturday by appointment. Our office is located at 1701 A South 8th Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80905. (719) 635-0200. We cater events Tuesday through Sunday and Monday by appointment.
To help us maintain our quality and service standards, we ask that you give us a minimum of 48 HOURS to prepare for your event. Orders placed well in advance will guarantee your date and time. No reductions or cancellations will be accepted after this time. Changes left on voice mail, email or fax machines are not accepted. Larger events may require a minimum 2-week cancellation, or more, as stipulated in your event contract.
EXCEPTIONS:
Small additions in guest count (up to five persons) and minor time changes may be accepted 48 hours prior to the day of the order. Orders outside of the cut-off deadline will be reviewed and depending on the circumstances (ex: memorial services, weather, emergencies) may be accepted if business levels and scheduling allow.
There is a 15-person minimum on any buffet order or items sold by the person. The minimum for any catering order is $150 all inclusive.
A delivery fee will be assessed based on your location. The delivery charge for orders outside the Colorado Springs metro area are dependent on the distance and logistical details of the location. Locations outside of El Paso County will require additional mileage charges of 1.65 per mile.
We are available from 5 am to 6 pm for setups and dropoff delivery orders. There is a 15-minute window on either side of your requested delivery time. That is: your food could arrive 15 minutes before or 15 minutes after the time you requested. We will always allow plenty of time for set up which depends on your menu.
We are available for events 24 hours a day and allow for staffing and planning on a per event basis. We cater everything from weddings movie and commercial shoots, ground – breakings, VIP events, graduation parties, open houses, and holiday parties.
(Materials, Transport, and Event Coordination): This % is calculated on events that require setup and time both in transport and on-site. MTC includes all serving equipment, décor, serving pieces and buffet linens as well as the cost to transport, loading and unloading of food and equipment, site visits and administrative fees. It is assessed based on distance, theme, time, and mileage as well as complexity of event. Any lost equipment will be billed to the account placing the order.
All orders that are placed for delivery may be paid by check, credit card, cash, or online before the items are provided. If you need to be invoiced for your event, please call our office to inquire about setting up a company account at 719-635-0200.

All lunch and dinner menus include eco-friendly disposable-ware. We are happy to arrange for china, stainless, glassware, and linens if you desire. Please specify if you would like to upgrade. Hors ‘d oeuvre menus and a la carte orders do not include paper goods, but we have many options for purchase in stock if you would like us to bring them with your order.
Any large event over $500 requires a deposit of 50% to hold the date. The balance is due the day prior to the event date.
Because we prepare our meals with fresh ingredients at market price, all menu items and menu prices are subject to change due to market fluctuations and availability.
During peak season and on popular days for weddings and holidays, minimums may adjust for Saturday & Sunday events. Please call in advance as our services are subject to availability.
We will be happy to supply service staff for your event. Please call us and ask to speak with an Event Manager.
