Leftovers – J2 wants to insure all your guests are fed and we do not run out of food. Assuming the actual guest count is similar to the contracted guest count, there should be food leftover at the end of the event.  This food is the property of J2BBQ, assuming we have fulfilled our obligation to serve the number of guests you have contracted.  If there is a large difference in the number of actual guests and the number of guests served, J2BBQ will provide containers to package up an adequate amount of food as to fulfill our contractual obligations.  No buffet serving stations will be left set up.  J2BBQ will not leave any left overs if the actual guest count equals or exceeds the contracted guest count.  J2BBQ also will not assume any liability for the contents of the boxed food or its proper storage.

PAYMENT SCHEDULE & FEES

• A $100 deposit is due at time of contract. This must be paid online with a credit card.  All deposits will be credited to final balance at end of event.

• An additional 50% deposit is due 30 days before the event. Final guest count is due at this time, and the deposit will be based on that guest count.  If the event is booked with less than 30 days until service, 50% would be due immediately.

  • If a final guest count is not received, deposit will be based on original contract count

  • Once final count has been determined, either by a resubmission 30 days prior to event, or original contract if a new count is not submitted at that time, it may not be lowered. We will make every effort possible to accommodate additional guests after this date, but no guarantees.

  • If a buffet service catering is scheduled, and guest count drops below 50, a drop off service will be scheduled.

• A final invoice will be sent via email the day after the event and must be paid within 7 days.
