Question 1

Do you offer tastings?

Accepted Answer

We offer tastings for weddings and large-scale events after a date is booked with us. If you're planning a big day with full service, a tasting is a great way to finalize your menu. We don’t offer tastings for smaller events or drop-offs—but we’re always happy to talk through the menu in detail and help guide your choices.

Question 2

Can we customize the menu?

Accepted Answer

Always. Every menu is built around your preferences, dietary needs, and the kind of food you want your guests to remember.

Question 3

Do you offer plated meals, buffets, or stations?

Accepted Answer

All of the above. We’ll help guide you toward what fits your space, your style, and how you want the night to feel.

Question 4

Do you provide staff?

Accepted Answer

Yes—chefs, servers, and RAMP-certified bartenders. Staffing costs are separate from your food total, and we’ll help you figure out exactly what’s needed to make your event run smoothly.

Question 5

Can you help with rentals?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We work with trusted rental companies to coordinate everything needed for catering—like ovens, glassware, dishware, and anything else your venue doesn’t supply.

Question 6

Do you provide alcohol?

Accepted Answer

We don’t sell alcohol, but we’re happy to serve what you provide—and we can bring mixers and ice if needed.

Question 7

Can you accommodate dietary needs?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can provide vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergen-aware options. Let us know what’s needed—we’ll make sure everyone is taken care of.

Question 8

Do you offer kosher catering?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer a kosher menu upon request and will walk you through what that entails. While we are not a certified kosher kitchen, we can prepare kosher-style meals or cook in a certified kitchen you provide or rent. We’re happy to coordinate with your rabbi or mashgiach to make sure everything is done right.

Question 9

Do you cater small dinner parties at home?

Accepted Answer

Yes—we do this all the time. Whether it’s a dinner for ten or a shower for thirty, we’ll work with you to make it feel easy and special. We can cook in your kitchen (no, it’s not weird!) or prep offsite and deliver hot and ready. If you’re not sure if your event “counts,” just ask. We’ll talk it through and figure out what works.

Question 10

Can food be delivered hot or cold?

Accepted Answer

Both! We can deliver items hot and ready to serve, or chilled with easy reheating instructions.

Question 11

Do you provide disposables?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can include high-quality disposable plates, cutlery, and napkins upon request—just let us know what you need.

Question 12

Can you help set up?

Accepted Answer

If we’re delivering your food, we can absolutely help with a simple setup on-site. We’ll arrange everything as discussed so you’re ready to go.

Question 13

Do you travel to my venue?

Accepted Answer

Most likely, yes. We work all over Pittsburgh and beyond. If we haven’t been to your venue yet, we’ll figure it out.

Question 14

When is our final guest count due?

Accepted Answer

We typically ask for your final guest count two weeks before the event so we can place accurate orders and finalize staffing.

Question 15

What forms of payment do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, check, or credit card. A 3% processing fee applies to credit card payments.

Question 16

Do you charge an administrative fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We apply a 12% administrative fee on the food portion of your invoice. This covers planning, coordination, and behind-the-scenes support to ensure your event runs smoothly. It does not apply to staffing costs.

Question 17

Do you work with nonprofits?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we love working with nonprofits. For fundraising events, we waive our admin fee, and for other nonprofit gatherings, we’re happy to talk through special pricing options.
