Common Plea Catering ~ Additional Costs Staff Charges While each event is individual in nature, the following information reflects minimal pricing for staffing on most events. Events will require any or all of the following: Event Supervisor Servers Bartenders Cashiers Culinarians (Required for buffets and action stations) Kitchen Utility Event Charge is $150 per staff person, with the exception of the Supervisor which is $295 each, for up to an 8 hour shift. A shift consists of 2 hours of setup, duration of event, and at least 1 hour of breakdown. If the event goes over the 8 hour shift an overtime fee of $27.50 per remaining staff per hour will apply. ***Holidays and New Year’s Eve have Increased Staffing Charges.
Administrative Fee (Service Charge) Common Plea’s 15% Administrative Fee of food and beverage for events is assessed for the following reasons: 1.
2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
The staff charges go directly to the servers, bartenders, and culinarians. Their cost is dedicated to your event for the entire day. The actual cost exceeds the basic charge for the staff person. Additionally, we incur the significant expense of insurances and taxes on their compensations. Movement of foods, props, and equipment. Distribution of staff trucks, and drivers are not included in food and beverage costs. Striking events and removing all items from events back to commissary, and overtime with kitchen, utility personnel, and drivers. Additional overhead at commissary to produce and ship food to remote locations. Loading and unloading racks, equipment, props, and so forth. Cleaning, maintaining, and replacing off site equipment is not necessary in the ordinary course of running a hotel, restaurant, or onsite venues. The mere fact that everyone and everything is moved to an additional location is much more labor intensive and costly for any off premise venue.
We understand the expense is considerable, but the margins on food, beverage, and commissions require us to apply the service charge on our events.
Standard Rentals and Setup & Breakdown Fees $8.00 per person for existing tables, chairs, china, silver, and glassware
Additional Rentals (if needed) Tables, Chairs, Cooking Equipment, Tenting, China, Silver, Glassware, Props, Uniforms, Furniture, and so forth.
Sales Tax All food charges are subject to the 7% Pennsylvania State Sales Tax.
Allegheny County Drink Tax All alcoholic beverages are subject to the 7% Allegheny County Drink Tax.
Linens, Flowers, and Entertainment Please allow us to assist you in selecting the appropriate vendors for your special events.
