Prices
are figured on an individual basis according to food and labor costs.
Keep in mind that the initial costs of packing the truck, driving to
the location, unpacking the truck, setting everything up, cooking,
serving, cleaning up, repacking the truck, returning to the commissary,
unloading the truck, washing the pots and pans and putting everything
away must be amortized by the number of guests. Therefore the smaller
the party, the higher the costs per person. Our average cost per person
in 2008 was $12.50 per person, which included all food, labor and
rental. State and local taxes add another 9.5%.

How do we book a party or event?
|
| |
Just
call us at (843)293-6310 or email us at Info@TBonesBBQ.com. We will need your name, address, email
address, phone and fax numbers, the date and time of the event, the
number of guests, your menu, and the location of the event. We will
prepare a formal proposal that spells out all the details and email,
fax or mail it to you. When everything is agreeable, you sign the
proposal, mail your check for the 50% deposit and the event is
booked.

How do we pay for your services?
|
| |
Payments
can be paid by check, credit card or cash. A deposit of 50% is
required, with balance to be paid in full upon completion of the
event.
|
| 5. |
What if it rains? |
| |
We
suggest holding your event where you will have access to shelter or
rent a tent. The party will go ahead as planned. We can postpone with
48 hours notice. Cancellation forfeits deposit. TBone Terry’s Outdoor
Catering offers a 10′ x 10′ tent to cover the food for only $35. We can
help you with locations and shelter to fit your size group at a
reasonable cost. Please go to our “Rentals” page for more
information.
|
| 6. |
How is your catering different from other caterers? |
| |
We cook on site.
The food is delivered to the table fresh off the grill when it is
absolutely at its peak of freshness. Most caterers cook the food in a
restaurant or commissary hours before delivering it to you in a hotbox.
The difference is dramatic.
|
| 7. |
What comes with the selected menu? |
| |
Our
menus serve as a guide only. We include a salad of coleslaw, potato
salad, pasta salad, or fresh garden salad depending on the menu. We
usually serve two vegetables which include baked beans, green beans,
corn, potatoes or rice. All menus include rolls and iced tea. All other
drinks and desserts are provided by the client or we can provide them
at an extra charge. Serving tables, utensil, plates, cups and cleanup
are also included.
