Utility

Event Charge is $150 per staff person, with the exception of the Supervisor which is $295 each, for up to

an 8 hour shift. A shift consists of 2 hours of setup, duration of event, and at least 1 hour of breakdown.

If the event goes over the 8 hour shift an overtime fee of $27.50 per remaining staff per hour will apply.

***Holidays and New Year’s Eve have Increased Staffing Charges.

Administrative Fee (Service Charge)

Common Plea’s 15% Administrative Fee of food and beverage for events is assessed for the following reasons:

1. The staff charges go directly to the servers, bartenders, and culinarians. Their cost is dedicated to

your event for the entire day. The actual cost exceeds the basic charge for the staff person. Additionally,

we incur the significant expense of insurances and taxes on their compensations.

2. Movement of foods, props, and equipment. Distribution of staff trucks, and drivers are not included

in food and beverage costs.

3. Striking events and removing all items from events back to commissary, and overtime with kitchen,

utility personnel, and drivers.

4. Additional overhead at commissary to produce and ship food to remote locations. Loading and

unloading racks, equipment, props, and so forth.

5. Cleaning, maintaining, and replacing off site equipment is not necessary in the ordinary course of

running a hotel, restaurant, or onsite venues.

6. The mere fact that everyone and everything is moved to an additional location is much more labor

intensive and costly for any off premise venue.

We understand the expense is considerable, but the margins on food, beverage, and commissions require us

to apply the service charge on our events.
