FAQ’s

1) Q: Do you do tastings?

A: We do not offer tastings. If you must try our food before you book with us, we recommend you get one of our Wham Bam Meal in a Pan meals. Learn more here: whambamlnk.square.site HEhereRE: https://whambamlnk.square.site/

A couple of reasons why Chef Aaron does not offer tastings. One we do not stock everything on hand from our menu. We make each menu to order for your event and we have a minimum of $500 for a custom menu. This helps keep our inventory low, which in return helps us keep the prices lower for you. Second, cooking for 2-4 people is nothing like cooking and transporting food for 200-400 people. The food at a tasting is not an equal representation.

2) Q: What is your minimum for catering?

A: For custom catering/menus we require a minimum of $500 in food sales.

If you are willing to piggyback off what we are already doing, with at least 36 hours' notice, we can do as little as $50 in sales.

There is a delivery fee of $15 for orders under $200.

For Sunday events and New Years Eve we have a minimum of $4000 in food sales, if we are available.

3) Q: How do I secure my date/event with you?

A: We need to get you an invoice with as many details that are known (Date of event, estimated head count, location, and menu) for you to approve and finally put down a 25% non-refundable non-transferable deposit. You can make the deposit via Check, Credit Card, Venmo, or Cash. Your date is not saved in our books until we get a deposit.

4) Q: Can you accommodate guests with food allergies, restrictions, and/or special diets?

A: Absolutely! Please let us know what those needs are, and we will accommodate those guests of yours.

5) Q: How far do you travel?

A: We will go as far as 2.5 hours away/ 150 miles from our location. We charge for mileage plus labor of the team to get there and back.

6) Q: Do you provide beverages?

A: For smaller events we can provide bottled water, bottled iced tea, canned sodas/sparkling water. We cannot provide alcoholic beverages, as we do not have a Liquor License. We do not provide beverages for large events as we want to focus 100% on the food.

7) Q: What is the largest event you can do?

A: We have catered a tailgate menu for over 1,350 people. Depending on the menu and location we could do more. Please challenge us!

8)Q: What are your fees?

A: No delivery fee in Lincoln City Limits for orders over $200. Outside of Lincoln city limits the delivery fee is determined by Mileage and Drive time to and from the location.

If you just need the food, the only fee is taxes. Unless the event is outside of Lincoln then a delivery fee would apply.

If the event is worked by the ChefauChef team, there is a 25% service fee added to the bill plus 10% auto gratuity.

Real plates at an event are subject to an additional $2/person plus taxes. To cover additional staff needed to run the event.

Any worked event is subject to a 10% automatic gratuity added to the bill.

Plated/Family style meals are subject to a 40% service fee added to the bill.

Some Venues charge us a fee to be on their preferred vendor list. We pass that fee over to you and apply it to your bill so we do not have to mark up our prices to cover that fee to everyone who orders from us. This is most fair way to handle this additional cost/fee.

8) Q: Can I make changes to the menu listed?

A: Yes, but the final price most likely will change depending on the changes.
