Pricing
Due to the time required to prepare custom menus, Rasberrys does not engage in any competitive bidding. For those clients who do choose to work with Rasberrys for their event we will gladly provide a detailed quote to assist with budgeting.
Quotes will include itemized charges for all food & beverages: rentals, including china, glassware, flat ware, linens, etc.; labor costs, such as serving staff and kitchen staff; as well as all taxes and gratuities.
We are, of course, happy to answer any general questions you may have regarding “typical” costs for our food and services to assist you in considering us during your planning process. As a prospective client, we simply ask you to provide us some general information to work with, beginning with the date of your event so we can determine our availability. Other useful information includes the nature and size of your event, the type of menu you desire, the level of service you are anticipating (pick-up, delivery, fully staffed, etc.), as well as the prospective location, and any budgeting information you may have (if available).
