Final Guest Count

  • Your final guest count must be submitted no later than 7 days before your event.

  • This becomes the minimum number for billing. Reductions after this point will not reduce the invoice total.

  • Increases or failure to provide the final count within 72 hours of the event may result in additional charges.

Force Majeure

In the event Holy Smokes BBQ is unable to perform its catering services due to circumstances beyond its control; including but not limited to extreme weather, natural disasters, government restrictions, vehicle accidents, truck breakdowns, equipment failure, or medical emergencies. Weather-related cancellations will result in the deposit being forfeited to Holy Smokes BBQ, while non-weather-related incidents will result in the deposit being refunded in full. By proceeding with a booking, the client acknowledges and agrees to waive any and all claims for additional compensation, reimbursement, or damages—including, but not limited to, venue costs, rental losses, or reputational impact—arising from such cancellations or service disruptions.

We strongly recommend completing final payment at least 24 hours in advance to avoid delays. By choosing to pay on arrival, the client agrees that Holy Smokes BBQ is not liable for any delays to service or event flow resulting from pending payment.

However, once the grace period ends, interest will be retroactively applied from the original invoice due date. Grace period requests made after the event date will not be considered.

EVENT DETAILS & FINAL COUNTS

To ensure the successful execution of your event, all final food counts and event-related details must be submitted no later than seven (7) days prior to the scheduled event date.
This includes, but is not limited to: final guest count, menu selections, service timeline, and any special arrangements or accommodations.
 

Late Submission Fee: Submissions received after the 7-day deadline may be subject to a Late Counts Fee. This fee reflects the need to allocate a team member to source perishable goods outside of our regular weekly ordering cycle.

​

Booking Exceptions: This policy does not apply to events that are booked within 7 days of the event date. In such cases, all details are required immediately upon confirmation, and accommodations will be made based on availability.

​

Guest Flow & Serving Duration: It is the client's responsibility to inform our team of the anticipated guest flow and any specific service expectations. Our standard practice is to provide sufficient staffing to ensure all guests are served within a two-hour service window. Should the client require an accelerated service period (e.g., to serve all guests in under two hours), this must be communicated and approved in advance so that appropriate staffing adjustments can be made. Any request to alter the standard serving duration may be subject to additional fees based on staffing and logistical requirements.

​

HOLY SMOKES BBQ will not be held liable for any complaints or issues arising from serving times that were not discussed and approved prior to the event date.

LIABILITY DISCLAIMER -
