Catering Information
Our event planners are available Monday through Friday from 10 am to 5 pm, or by appointment, to help with your catering needs and questions. Placing an Order
A successful event requires good planning, so please talk with our event coordinators and place your order as far in advance as possible. Even if you aren’t sure of the date, ask us to “pencil you in” for the dates you
are considering. If we get other requests for the same time, we will consult with you first. We request that your final menu and number of quests be confirmed 72 business hours in advance of your event. An earlier confirmation may be required for large groups or special menus. Ty's Tasty Tastebuds is a small, locally owned, custom caterer. We’ve kept it that way so that we can provide excellent food and personalized service. Unfortunately, it also means our calendar can become fully booked. We regret any inconvenience this may cause you. DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS
A non-refundable deposit of 50% of the estimated event costs will be required to confirm a date. The remaining balance will be due one week prior to your event and any balance due to either will be settled within 7 business days. CHANGING AN ORDER
We will make every effort to accommodate last minute changes to your order after it has been confirmed. Please understand, however, that if changes are made less than 72 hours before your event, we will not be able to guarantee additions and reductions will be billed to the extent that the food has already been prepared. CANCELLATION POLICY
Events cancelled within 5 calendar days are subject to a 10% charge on the estimated food and beverage costs. Events cancelled within 2 calendar days, the cancellation charge is 50% and within 24 hours, a cancellation charge of 90% will apply. These charges apply to all events for which a customer deposit has not been obtained. PAYMENT
Payment can be made by Visa, MasterCard or corporate check. We do not accept American Express. Payment in full is due prior to event date. Any additional charges will be settled within 7 business days of the event and will be posted on the credit card number on file. All charges are subject to INDIANA state sales tax. Charges will be listed as “Ty's Tasty Tastebuds Catering” on your credit card statement. Please contact us for more info. Full Service or Delivery
