Staffing & Service Fee

KP Katering prides itself on excellent, professional service. To cover staff charges, an additional 20% service fee will be added to your final food bill. This includes setup, serving, and cleanup after the event. The service fee also includes the use of prep & serving items to ensure hot, fresh food.

Minimums

Weddings (Fri or Saturday / April–October)$4,000.00 total catering amount

Other events$1,500.00 total catering amount

The cost of prepping, setup and service all add up, therefore we do have a total bill minimum for off-site catering separate from the Eau Claire Event District.

Meal Service Time Extension

The buffet service line is scheduled to remain open for 1.0 hours from contract time. Client may request additional time for the service of the buffet.

Extension fee$75.00 per half-hour increment

Late Start Time

KP Katering strives to serve the food exactly on time. If requests are made for a 15-minute delay or if service starts 15 minutes late, an additional charge will be added.
