PRICES
• Due to fluctuating economic conditions, food and beverage prices are subject to uncontrollable market increases.  Therefore, prices cannot be guaranteed more than 90 days in advance.  Carbone’s will not be held to earlier pricing information in the possession of the guest.

TAXES AND SERVICE CHARGES
• All menu prices are subject to an 18% service charge and 6% PA sales tax.  Service charge is taxable in the state of Pennsylvania.  Your server(s) will receive 15% of the 18% service charge.  If you believe that they performed in an exemplary manner, feel free to reward them above the 18% service charge.   Groups requesting separate checks (for those ordering from the regular dinner menu only) will have the above sales tax and service charge placed on each check.  Please note that there may be a limit to the number of separate checks that one group can have.   If your group is sales tax exempt, a copy of your Tax Exemption Certificate is required in advance of your function to calculate your bill correctly.

ROOM FEES
• A non-refundable room fee is required to guarantee your reservation.  Certain banquets (weddings, etc) require larger fees.  If the room fee is not received within 10 days of original date of booking, the space reserved will be released for sale to others.  Non-refundable  room fees vary according to group size:  up to 30 guests - $25.00; 31-50 guests - $50.00; 51 or more guests - $75.00.  Additional fees may apply if damage to Carbone’s property occurs.

GUEST GUARANTEES
• When you make your reservation a number expected must be given.  The final attendance guarantee must be provided 7 days prior to the event.  Customers will be charged for the final count given, including no-shows.  No exceptions unless the number of meals served exceeds the final count, in which case you will be charged the higher amount.

MENU SELECTION
• Final menu selections must be confirmed at least 2 weeks prior to function.  Otherwise, items selected cannot be guaranteed.  Menus are of three types:  Buffet, Full-service and Family-style.  Buffets require a minimum of 30 persons and maximum of 175 persons.  Due to PA Health Code regulations, all food remaining from buffet or family-style banquets will remain the property of Carbone’s.  Sit-down dinners have a maximum of 200 persons, depending on table arrangements.  Family-style meals have a maximum of 50 guests.  To ensure the highest standards of food and service, sit-down meal service will have a limit of THREE entrée selections for the entire group.   It is the responsibility of the guest to provide COLOR CODED CARDS indicating entrée selections for sit-down meal service.  If any of your guests have specific dietary needs, please inform the Banquet Manager prior to the event.  Selections for children 12 and under are available.  Please inquire at time of booking.  Important:  We cannot guarantee a quality meal if your group has a delay in mealtime of more than 20 minutes.

PAYMENT POLICY
• Payment in full for your event is due at the close of the function.  Weddings, however, will require payment in full the day of finalization, which usually occurs 7 days prior to the wedding.  It is important to note that a final audit will be conducted following the event to determine actual counts and service.  If necessary, adjustments will be made to the final bill.
• Accepted payment methods include cash; personal check (with valid ID); group, organization or company check (with valid ID); and major credit cards.  Please note:  an additional service charge of 4% will be applied to credit card payments for banquet checks.   Returned checks will have a $30.00 fee applied.

MISCELLANEOUS POLICIES
• Carbone’s does not permit any outside food, beverages or alcohol to be brought into the establishment, with the exception of cakes (a cake cutting fee may apply) and cookies (a tray charge may apply).
• Customers are permitted to provide their own decorations and floral arrangements, but PLEASE, no glitter or confetti.
• Personal conduct of guests is their responsibility.  Carbone’s reserves the right to remove from the premises any person for inappropriate or unsafe conduct.
• Personal property is the responsibility of the guest or their invitees.  Carbone’s assumes no risk for personal property brought on to the premises, as we provide no secure storage facilities.
• Bands, DJ’s and other entertainment must conclude by 11:00pm.  Sound level is at the discretion of management.   Such entertainment is the sole responsibility of the guest in charge of the event.  Carbone’s is not responsible for serving band members, DJ’s or other entertainment unless they are included in the final count.
• In the event of impossibility of performance due to acts of God, strikes, accidents, civil, state or federal government regulation, curtailment of transportation, or other emergencies that make it inadvisable, illegal or impossible to provide banquet/restaurant facilities, this agreement will be terminated and Carbone’s Restaurant shall be excused from performance and liable only for room fee paid.
