Catering Policies & Fees
Menu Pricing
The menu price quoted is based on the estimated guest count. If the guaranteed guest count is significantly less than the estimated guest count, we may have to reprice the menu as fixed costs must be amortized over the fewer attending number of guests.
KR’s Geaux-2 Catering reserves the right to substitute ingredients and/or increase prices in the event that food prices rise substantially between the time of the signing of the contract and the date of the event. We will notify you promptly to discuss.
Inclusive In Menu Pricing

These fees covers the cost of food, time spent shopping, prepping, cooking, and kitchen labor. The fee is refunded as credit on your final paid booking invoice balance.
