We know you have lots of questions when it comes to booking a specialty coffee bar and coffee caterer for your wedding, office party, birthday or other social function which caused us to create a set of FAQs - a quick guide, if you will, to some of the most common questions we get asked when people are booking their mobile coffee bar.

We love the idea of having a simple and concise experience for you when you book with Cafe Evoke Catering and want everything to be out in the open and clear from the very start. So, we decided that we wanted to highlight a few of our “most popular” FAQ’s every now and then so that there are no surprises!

What we want to talk about today is a part of the PRICING question: Yes, the most important part to many people as they begin to explore a mobile coffee bar for their event.  Our pricing is broken up into several parts:

1. Guest Count

2. Location

3. Duration of Event

4. Menu and Options

Today, we are focusing on the Guest Count (we will talk about the other parts later on). When it comes to the guest count, we treat it differently than your food caterer will. When you book your coffee bar with Cafe Evoke Catering, your price includes as many drinks as you and your guests can drink (and that we can make!) for the amount of time we are there serving.  We take care of all the payment and pricing up front and will never hit you with a per person charge, a per drink charge or any other charges that you do not know about all ready.

Because of that, it is important to get your guest counts to us in an accurate a form as possible.  In fact, it is good to give us the same number you are giving the food caterer or the event center so that we are all on the same page.

But not everyone at our event will drink coffee…

Ah, the “not everyone will drink coffee” question. You’re right!  Not everyone will drink coffee but some will have 2 or 3 or 4!  After almost 6 years in business, we have come up with a nifty way to judge the amount of coffee we will serve based on the number of people you tell us are invited and that you expect to come. This is why it is very important to get an accurate guest count and not to give us how many you THINK will drink coffee.

Let us do the math for you! We bring coffee for a percentage of your total. This is the way we get around having to charge you a per person price and a way that we save you money! If you know that you are going to have 250 people, make sure that is how many you tell us. If you take a fraction of the total you expect and we then take a fraction of that, we are going to run short!

So, as you are planning your event keep in mind that the most accurate information you have for us the better we are able to serve you. While it is rare that we EVER run out of product on a coffee bar, we do prepare for the type of event we are hired for.  100 people for coffee is much different that 250!

We look forward to the opportunity to sip with you soon!
