General Information and Policies

Our professional resources in culinary and service skills afford you complete
assurance that all commitments will be carried out to your satisfaction. In order
to ensure you and your guests of a well-organized function, we must ask that we
both adhere to the following catering policies:
Payments and Retainer Fee
Billing arrangements for all events must be made in accordance with catering
policies. There is a 50% retainer fee on all events, unless prior arrangements
have been made with our catering director. We accept cash, checks and money
orders. Checks should be made out to Miguel Marko S. Tuason for TRG Top
Catering. We are sorry at this time we are not able to accept credit cards. If we
receive a payment for services via check and that payment bounces with our
bank you will be responsible for a 150.00 fee.
Guarantees
The coordinator must be notified of the exact number for which you wish to
guarantee services for not later than five working days before the event. In the
event a guarantee service number is not received, the original estimated
attendance count will be prepared and charged. The charge for each additional
person set up at patron's request will be made and patron agrees to pay at
Caterer's established rate of 500.00 per person.
Taxes
All applicable state and local taxes will be imposed and paid by the client. If the
client's organization is tax exempt, the caterer must receive a certificate
reflecting the client's exemption status not later than five working days before
the event. If the caterer does not receive this certificate, the client agrees to pay
all taxes associated with the event.
Cancellations
If the client cancels a contracted food and beverage event, and/or facility, the

caterer can retain all or a portion of the retainer fee as liquidated damages.

Portion Sizes
Most of our menu items are sold on a per guest basis, with portion sizes having
been determined by our experienced catering staff. If you would like information
regarding exact quantities, please do not hesitate to ask our catering director.
Leftover Food
When we are on location to serve food, we usually carry more than we expect to
serve. When offsite for a long period of time, we have extended food
temperatures and holding conditions to a point that we will not release leftover
food to you or your guests. This policy is required by the Philippine Department of
Health. We trust you will cooperate.

Catering Contract

1. I, Patron, agree to pay for all guests attending but not less than for the number
of guests guaranteed. Caterer may limit services to the number of guests
guaranteed or the number of guests Caterer deems to be the maximum for the
facility. Arrangement for additional guests and menu changes must be made at
least five (5) working days prior to the functions and such final guarantee,
whether oral or written, shall be binding on patron as if originally guaranteed. In
no event shall guarantee be less than originally agreed upon.
2. The change of each additional person set up at patron's request after the five
(5) working day period prior to event will be made and patron agrees to pay at
Caterer's established rate of 500.00 per person.
3. No event will be permitted to run over the time agreed upon without Caterer's
approval. Caterer reserves the right to make reasonable additional charges for
events running beyond the time agreed upon. The agreed charge is 500.00 per
hour.
4. In the event patron cancels or otherwise breaches this agreement, Caterer
shall retain 9500.00 and/or any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by
Caterer of deposit for damages. A schedule of cancellation charges follows:
5. Any balance due will be paid in cash, money order or check within seven (7)
days of the start time of function.
6. Delinquent Accounts - we reserve the right to assess finance charges on any
amount unpaid when due at an interest rate of 1 % per month or the maximum
rate permitted by law.
7. In the event that the caterer must seek legal remedies to complete execution
of this contract, the client agrees to pay all reasonable attorney fees.
8. When patron wants to supply any food to be brought on the premises, patron
must secure written approval and endorsement of Caterer before such food will

be allowed on the premises.

9. Caterer reserves the right to substitute items that become unavailable in the
open market or that exceed reasonable market costs. Caterer will notify patron
for approval if time allows.

10. Caterer and/or its agents will be liable for any damage to property entrusted
to its employees, for the loss of any property by theft or otherwise. Patron
assumes responsibility for any damages to any property rented to patron that
may be caused by patrons, members, guests or invitees.
11. Caterer shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply any
services when prevented from doings so by strikes, accidents or any cause
beyond Caterer's control, or by orders of any governmental authority, except to
return said retainer fee within sixty (60) days.
12. Caterer will charge one-half the menu price per person for musicians and
photographers participating in the function.
This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties. No
modifications or cancellations thereof shall be valid nor of any force effect unless
in writing signed by the Caterer. The undersigned acknowledges that (s)he has
read and accepted all the terms of CATERING AGREEMENT and had executed the
Agreement on the:
(Date)___________________ by returning it within ten (10) working days. Failure to
comply will risk securing the aforementioned contracted day of function.
The agreement coincides with the CATERING ORDER WORKSHEET which outlines
the exact type of food, times and equipment to be provided by caterer for patron.
A copy of the CATERING ORDER WORKSHEET must accompany this agreement to
make it whole.

food service. If china and flatware is desired, there is an additional charge of
Php 100.00 per person.
Service of Alcoholic Beverages Policy
The service of alcoholic beverages is controlled by certain guidelines as
described below. The TRG Top Catering offers several options for your bar
set-up needs. Please review the policies carefully before ordering alcoholic
beverages for your event.

Terms and Definitions

Cash bar = the guests pay.

Charge bar = the hosting group pays for all drinks.

Standard bar = includes beer, house wines, and non-alcoholic

beverages.

Full bar = includes a variety of liquors, house wines, beer, and nonalcoholic beverages.

General Policies

Alcoholic beverage service is available only in conjunction with food

service.

All alcoholic beverages must be provided and served by catering staff.

No outside alcoholic beverages are allowed to be brought into the

event, and we do not allow corkage fees.

Designated TRG Top Catering staff is required to be present at all times

while alcohol is being provided at a program. All managers,
supervisors, lead workers, bartenders, and designated staff must
attend and be certified for alcohol awareness training.

Program Focus: Alcohol service should never be the main focus of the
program, but rather an enhancement. Advertising of the event should not
emphasize alcohol service.
Control of Service: We recommend that all organizations and individuals
sponsoring programs with alcohol utilize all methods available to reduce the
possibility of alcohol abuse or misuse. For all student programs where some
of the attendees will be underage (defined by law), wrist banding is required.
The sponsoring organization will be charged for the wrist bands and the staff
to monitor that this policy is enforced. Bartenders will band and serve only
the attendees who are of legal drinking age.
Conduct: Sponsoring organizations are responsible for the actions of their
guests and must comply with TRG Top Catering alcohol policies. Violations
may result in the revocation of the organization's event privileges.
Time Limits: It is the intent of TRG Top Catering to limit Charge Bars (open
bar to program attendees) to two hours. Exceptions to this policy must be
approved by the catering director of TRG Top Catering.
