Catering Policies

Our prices include food and condiments only. They also include disposable dinnerware such as plates, silverware, cups, napkins, etc. Real china and flatware may be used at an additional charge. We respectfully ask for a forty-eight hour or more notice.

We will set-up your meal buffet style and come back to pick it up when finished for up to 75 guests without a staff member to stay with you. Pick-up time to be arranged during our normal operating hours. You will be responsible for our equipment until picked up. We will gladly provide you with a server for $125 per server to maintain the buffet line and service your guest needs. Any event over 75 guests will require one or more servers. Service staff is based on a four-hour minimum. Additional charges apply for over four hours.

On our buffet lines, we use nice chafing dishes for the hot foods. Our cold foods are presented in decorative plastic bowls that are nicely garnished. We use baskets and cloth napkins for miscellaneous items such as rolls, silverware and condiments. Real china or pottery may be substituted for the plastic, upon request, at an additional charge.

Any rentals of linens, china, glassware, flatware, equipment, etc. will be at the client's expense. We will gladly help you decide what your specific needs are and prepare an estimated quote on those needs. Client is responsible for any rentals damaged by guests.

The numbers of guests you guarantee are the number of guests we prepare for. Your guest count guarantee is a 100% guarantee. If your guest count is under, you still pay the full guarantee. If the guest count is over your guarantee, you pay the overages. Overages to be determined by an actual head count and/or a plate count at the event by our on site manager. We ask you to give us your guest count guarantee five (5) days prior to the event. You may increase this count up to 48 hours prior to the event, but you cannot decrease it, as our preparation has already begun.

When we are on location to serve food, we usually carry more than we expect to serve (running out is a traumatic experience). We also like to provide a meal for our servers after the event is over. While maintaining the proper food temperature our holding times are extended. Due to this factor, in cooperation with the Oklahoma City County Health Department, we will not release our extra foods to you or your guests.

Any buffet or sit down meal requiring serving staff will have a 15% service charge added. We feel this is necessary to give your guests the full attention they deserve. This includes removal of plates and utensils as well as refilling beverages.

Johnnie's Catering requires a deposit of 1/3 of the total amount due to reserve the date of your event. The balance is due one week before the event unless prior arrangements have been made. Cancellations of confirmed events thirty (30) days prior to the event may be subject to a cancellation fee. This fee is based on the actual costs incurred at the time of cancellation. Should rescheduling be necessary, 100% of your deposit will apply to the new date. Unpaid balances, over 30 days are subject to a late fee of 1 1/2% per month.

All pricing of food and beverage is subject to current sales taxes. Sales tax rate is to be determined by the city we deliver to as well as any county taxes required by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Gratuities always welcome and very appreciated.

Our professional staff is eager to customize a menu to fit your occasion. We also welcome your suggestions and comments. It is our sincere desire to make you and your guests 110% satisfied with any catering from our company.
