Payment must be received the day of the event. If for whatever reason, payment is not made at the close of the event, the credit card on file will be charged the full amount. PA State Meals Tax (6%) and Gratuity (20%) will be added to final bill at end of the event.

Multiple forms of payment can be used, however no separate checks on parties of six or more.
 

Final Count:
A final guest count must be received no later than 48 hours prior to the event date. Failure to provide a final count will result in the client being charged for the highest number of guests that appear on the contract proposal. In the event that the actual guest count is higher than the guarantee, the client will be charged for the higher number. If the actual count falls below the guarantee, the client will still be responsible to pay for the minimum guest guarantee. If the function does not meet the minimum guest guarantee, Rustic Kitchen is under no obligation to package unconsumed food to go.
