General Ordering & Event Guidelines:

Ordering is easy - just give us a call at 340-998-4577 or email us at modernsaute.com. Select from our signature dishes or ask us to create a menu
that meets your specific needs. We request a minimum of 48 hours notice for simple delivery orders. Orders requiring service and rentals require significantly more notice. All delivery orders include warming and serving instructions. We have a 10 guest minimum for staffed events, and a $200 minimum for all
orders, including deliveries. Order changes and final guest counts for most events are due 72 business hours prior to your event or delivery (further in
advance for larger events as detailed in your specific Event Confirmation). Delivery cancellations within 48 hours will result in a 50% cancellation fee. Cancellation policy for staffed events is detailed in your Event Confirmation.

Delivery & Setup:
We can deliver to your home, office, or special location at most any time.
More complex deliveries involving rentals and large service staff are quoted on a case by case basis.

Prices, Payment, Deposits & Guarantees Budgeting:
The cost of a catered party can be broken down into various components. This is a general guideline for things to consider.

Food:
— number of courses, food selections

Beverages:
— soft drinks, coffee, alcoholic beverages

Rentals:
— including china, flatware, glassware, serving ware, linen, tables, chairs,
other decor

Floral arrangements and other decorations

Bar setup fee

Service staff (plus gratuities)

Delivery charges

Modern Sauté accepts Visa, Mastercard and American Express for payment and deposits.
Staffed events require a 50% deposit, due in advance with the signed Event Confirmation, by the due date indicated. For future events, you can secure a
date/event by providing a $500 date hold deposit. For deliveries, we require a credit card to hold the order (payment may be made to the card or by
check).

Because of the nature of our business, final payment is due to Modern Saute upon delivery or at the conclusion of your catered event.

Modern Sauté reserves the right to add a 20% gratuity for weddings and large corporate events.

Staffing
Modern Sauté has a cadre of professionally trained servers, bartenders, and chefs who provide friendly, attentive service. For most events, dress is
black and white with a bistro apron. A minimum of 2 staff is required for staffed events. All staff has a 5-hour minimum per person. Rates: $25 per hour for the first chef/server/supervisor $18 per hour per server $18 per hour per bartender $18 per hour per chef

When considering number of hours required, assume a minimum of 1 hour for setup and 1/2 hour for cleanup. Larger events may require more time. Rates may be higher during holiday periods and are time-and-a-half on actual holidays.

Gratuities
Please consider tipping the staff if you feel they have done a good job. A range to consider is $40-$100 per person depending on the duration and difficulty of the event, and can be given in cash to each person at the
event or can be included with your payment to Bespoke Cuisine for us to distribute. For larger staffed events and corporate events, we regularly add a 20% gratuity to the final bill.

Rentals
We also have resources for rental of linen, china, flatware, glassware, table/chairs and other supplies.

Tastings
For events of 100 persons or more, we are happy to provide limited representative samples of the menu you are considering. Note that the purpose of our tastings is to give you a feel for whether you like our food,
not to have you sample everything you are considering. There is a $25 fee for a tasting for two which is fully credited to your final bill. Additional persons are $10 each. Tasting appointments are scheduled with 48 hours notice and are held at our sponsored kitchen.
