Food
WHY ARE THERE NO PRICES ON YOUR MENUS?
Many people ask why we don't have pricing on our website. Everyone has different needs and tastes.
We custom-build each menu and event. We ask our clients to imagine entertaining their guests at a local restaurant, and how much it would be per person, then add drinks, dessert, and service (onsite, offsite or delivered).
Pricing for each individual item can vary depending on several factors such as the service style, number of guests, total number of selections, selection customizations, etc. Therefore, we provide price estimates once an initial menu has been designed. Our prices are competitive and reasonable for the highest quality of food and service you will receive. We are a woman-owned and operated local small business. We appreciate your support!
CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS?
Absolutely. We've long specialized in offering vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free menu selections. As you explore our menus, you’ll see dietary notations throughout.
Beyond those notations, we understand that people may have requests for cultural considerations, allergens, and other needs. Let us know what your guests' needs are and we’ll let you know what we can do. We take special care with allergens, though we cannot guarantee an environment that is entirely allergen-free.
​
DO YOU TAKE SPECIAL REQUESTS? I'D LIKE TO FEATURE A FAMILY RECIPE AT MY WEDDING.
You betcha! If you want to venture beyond our menus with a customized menu, we’ll accommodate your special request. The sky’s the limit with this catering service as we personalize every detail to your specification.

DO YOU OFFER BAR SERVICE AND STAFF?
For sure! Check out our bar menu on our website and one of our event specialists will be happy to schedule bartenders for your event.
HOW MANY SERVERS DO YOU SCHEDULE FOR AN EVENT?
To ensure the highest standards of service, we look at the needs of each event and consider the complexity of the menu and the venue when we schedule our staff.
WHAT VENUES DO YOU CATER AT?
We’re proud to be on the preferred list of dozens of venues throughout the New Jersey, Pennsylvania area. If you know of a venue that’s not on our list, we’d love to learn more about it.
WILL YOU HELP WITH RENTAL ORDERS?
Yes, there are a few ways to approach equipment rental. Chefs offers an inventory of stylish essential rental items, such as plates, flatware, and glassware. For a broader selection as well as items like linens, decor, lighting, tables, and chairs, we will refer you to one of our suggested partners.
Money
WHAT IS THE ADMIN CHARGE? IS IT A TIP OR GRATUITY?
Good question. It’s different from gratuity. It’s an industry standard in catering. This fee helps cover the cost of the operations, such as warehouse staff, vehicle insurance, and administrative expenses — the many moving parts necessary to facilitate the complex logistics of catering.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I TIP?
This is totally at your discretion. Generally, our clients offer a percentage of the food total or $50-$200 per staff person working an event. Your Event Specialist can let you know how many team members to expect on site.
CAN I PAY ELECTRONICALLY?
We have not set this service up as of yet. When it’s time to pay your bill, your Event Specialist will contact you for credit card details.
