2023 Operational updates & changes
Please Read Our Changes For 2023
As most of us in the restaurant industry, catering industry and other sectors of the Food & Beverage industry continue to maneuver as best as we can during these uncertain times, we are continually having to shift and make operational changes as we see fit in order to be able to both sustain our businesses, and still serve our customers and clients with quality food and service they have come to expect.
In 2022 and forward, we made the following operational changes indefinitely.
- We no longer provide any on-site special event catering, nor do we provide any breakfast catering or brunch catering.
- We will not be providing the Private Chef Dining Experience for 2023, sorry.
- We have moved to a seasonal operation instead of yearlong operations.
- We now offer drop-off catering service during the spring season, (March to June) and in the fall season, (September to November). We close for summer break typically, (July to August) and holiday & winter break (late November to late February). During summer and winter break times we will not be available by phone, we will only be available via email at nolagirlfood@gmail.com or the "Contact Us" form at the bottom of website.
- We are only offering drop-off catering (party trays). The party trays menu is designed for and suggested for smaller group gatherings of up to 50 people. The food delivery minimum is $500 (before tax and service & delivery).
- We are no longer be able to provide refunds for cancellations, but you may be able to receive a credit for future catering services or re-schedule your event for a later date based on date availability. For more details see updated cancellation policy on the drop-off catering menu.
- Also, as we continue to deal with rising food costs and lack of availability of certain food items at various times, the price of some menu items may increase and/or some menu items may be removed either temporarily or indefinitely. We try the keep the menu updated and as current as possible.
