It covers mobilization, travel, setup, staffing, the contracted service window, breakdown, cleanup, standard disposable serviceware, and the normal service equipment required for your selected service style. When applicable, this includes plates, napkins, utensils, chafing racks, service tables, linens, Sterno, equipment cleanup, and linen laundering. It also absorbs ordinary event-related expenses such as insurance certificates, tolls, entry charges, and card-processing costs.
Sales tax, additional food, upgrades, additional service time, and nonstandard rentals are separate.
The onsite service fee is not a gratuity.
Our Smoking Process
For standard food-trailer catering, our meats are smoked over hickory before your event and arrive hot and ready for service. Custom onsite BBQ pit service is available for select events by custom quote.
Chicken Preparation Options
For packages that include chicken, you can choose between pulled chicken or bone-in chicken. Bone-in chicken can be prepared in several ways:
- •BBQ Sauced — Fully smoked and glazed with our signature BBQ sauce
- •Just Seasoned — Smoked with rub only, no sauce
- •Alabama Style — Smoked and finished with white-vinegar-based sauce
- •Cornell Style — Smoked and brushed with apple-cider butter glaze
Chicken preparation preferences can be discussed and confirmed after you submit a quote request. These details don't affect the quoted package price.
