A $50.00 non-refundable deposit is required to confirm your date. Details concerning the estimated number of guests, table arrangements, and head table requirements may be given at this time.

Your menu requirement should be discussed with Daane's and finalized at least 6 weeks in advance. If this is not the case, some selections cannot be guaranteed. To review your special needs or sche.dule an appointment to discuss any other special requirements, please call us at 269-327-5500 for this appointment. Disposable dishes, silverware, and napkins are included with all complete dinner buffets. Menu prices do not include fees for special services, rentals, or other specialty items.

It is against Michigan State Health Department regulations to leave leftover food if our personnel are servicing the function. If our personnel only deliver and setup the buffet the leftover food is yours to store or dispose of. Our suggestion is not to save any food that has been unrefrigerated for more than two hours.

A minimal van usage fee will be applied to all deliveries and setups in the Greater Kalamazoo area. A delivery charge will be added for orders under $50.00 and/or outside of the Greater Kalamazoo area. This charge is based upon mileage. Pick-up of the dishes is not included in our pricing. There is a 17% labor charge when our personnel stay to service a buffet, which includes keeping the buffet restocked, bussing tables, and cleaning up the buffet. On parties of under 75 guests or parties that last longer than the usual buffet there will be an hourly labor fee.

Cancellations must be made no later than 36 hours prior to the event to avoid a charge. These cancellations may still be subject to food preparation and labor cost fees.

Payment of charges for your event is to be made upon delivery of the invoice. We reserve the right to charge for damages or missing equipment or furnishings. Hot foods for all non-serviced parties will be delivered in thermal warmers. Chafing pans are available to rent for $8.50 each. 6% Michigan State Sales Tax will be added to your total invoice.

Daane's Catering must be notified NO LATER than five workings days prior to your event of your guaranteed guest count. We will prepare food for 5% above this count, up to a maximum of 15 guests. Substantial increases in the final guest count may alter the menu selection availability. You will be billed for the final guaranteed number or the number of meals served whichever is greater. To insure a pleasant dining experience, an accurate guest count is essential.
