We understand that plans may change. For most bookings, the online payment is $223.27, including a $200 booking deposit, $16.50 in sales tax, and a $6.77 online payment processing fee.
For customer-requested cancellations due to personal reasons, such as a change in plans or schedule, requests made at least 48 hours before the event are eligible for a refund of the $200 deposit and $16.50 sales tax. The $6.77 payment processing fee is nonrefundable.
Rescheduling is complimentary when requested at least 48 hours in advance. For cancellations or rescheduling requests made within 48 hours of the event, the deposit may no longer be refundable, and a $200 rescheduling fee may apply.
Weather Policy: If rain is expected, please provide a safe, covered cooking area, such as a tent, canopy, or covered patio, so the chef can cook safely and remain dry. Weather-related cancellation or rescheduling requests must also be made at least 48 hours before the event.
Please notify us of any guest count changes at least 72 hours before the event so our team can prepare the appropriate amount of food.
Can you explain the travel fee?
The first 20 miles to your party location are free. Any miles beyond the first 20 miles are charged at $2 per mile.
This travel fee helps cover the chef’s travel time, fuel, and the effort required to bring all cooking equipment to your location, ensuring a smooth and timely hibachi experience.
