ADMINISTRATIVE CHARGES AND TAXES
A standard administrative charge of 20% shall be assessed on all food, beverage and rental purchases. A
7% Allegheny sales tax will be assessed on all food, non-alcoholic beverages (except water), room
charges (except room rental) and on the administrative charge. A 7% Allegheny alcohol tax will be
assessed on all alcoholic beverage purchases.
The Administrative charge is not intended to be a tip, gratuity, or service charge for the benefit of
service employees and no portion of this Administrative charge is distributed to employees.
FLOOR PLANS FOR CATERING FUNCTIONS
Your sales professional will review both the guest seating arrangements (floor plan) and the “behind the
scenes” logistics to ensure ample space had been considered, making appropriate recommendations for
both areas to create the best possible guest experience. Often, large events require catering (dishing,
serving, clearing) to take place in areas that are not commonly dedicated to that purpose. In these
instances, the customer and the sales professional will discuss effective solutions (such as pipe and
drape) to mask food service staging areas from guest’s view. The cost for additional equipment such as
this, which may be provided by the customer’s decorating company or through the caterer, will be the
responsibility of the customer.
Additionally, as safety is always important, we reserve the right to specify floor plans and layouts of all
set-ups, seating tables, serving stations and like items to enable safe and efficient service to your event.
This includes reserving necessary space dedicated to both back of house and front of house areas. This
also includes service areas, breakdown areas and front of house service aisle ways. These details will be
reviewed with our facility and customers prior to developing final floor plans.
