Policies (Catering/Private Events)

  1. Catering Orders must be placed at least two weeks in advance. Orders made in short notice, depending on size and if accepted, will have a short notice fee ($50 - $100).

  2. 1.5 Hour Delivery Max from Bridgewater, NJ. Earliest delivery is 1:00 PM.

  3. If ordering more than 100 empanadas, for quality assurance, Chef will treat your event as a private event and fry them fresh at the event, charging you per person, rather than per tray.

  4. Payments

    • Cash or Check Preferred

    • Zelle

  5. A one-on-one with me through email, Instagram DM, or phone will be made when a catering order is submitted.

  6. Any food allergies/dietary restrictions from the party must be made clear to me through the one-on-one so to take extra care with your order. If allergens or dietary restrictions are not provided, Food Coma LLC is not liable for sickness caused by consumption.

  7. A $20 Delivery and Service Fee will be added to final price. (DROP-OFF CATERING ONLY)

  8. If you require steam trays. stands, and sternos, you can either pay PRIVATE EVENT PRICING for Chef Evan to stay, set up, serve, and clean up so that Evan can keep the trays or you can pay a designated fee for the amount needed.

  9. Catering Orders $350+: A non-refundable 30% deposit is required to account for food purchasing, possible cancellation, or change-of-dates.

  10. CANCELLATION: Please try and cancel the order 72 hours before the designated day. IF YOU PAID AHEAD: A refund will be awarded to you, withholding a 15% fee to account for product loss. If you cancel the order after the 72 hour requirement, a 45% fee will be taken from the refund for product loss and time. If canceled on the day of the event, a 75% fee will be taken from the refund for similar reasoning.

  11. Dissatisfied or was a mistake made? Please reach out as soon as possible and I will work out a solution that works best for the situation (i.e. a voucher for any future orders, partial refund for the order, etc.)

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Does anyone else work with/under/for you?

    • This started all as “one-man show” led by Chef Evan Johnson. All is still taken care of by just Chef Evan. Check out the Chef Page to learn more about him and the creation of Food Coma Kitchen. Because of this, please provide some leeway, as Chef Evan takes care of cooking, packaging, and (catering) delivery.

  • Can you deliver to ___? Where do you deliver?

    • Food Coma Kitchen Catering is based in Bridgewater, NJ. If you live or work 1.5 hours or less from Bridgewater, you’re perfect! Unsure about if I can deliver to you? Reach out to me and I can confirm for you! No NY delivery.

  • Do you do private events?

    • Yes I do! Through this service, I come to your event an hour or more before the event, set up, cook fresh empanadas, help serve, and clean up! For a more in depth breakdown, check out the PRIVATE EVENTS page.

  • Do you make any gluten free, dairy free, and/or vegetarian dishes?

    • Yes I Do! I understand how difficult it is to get access to such foods and for it to be of quality. Because of this, I try my best to include at least one of each on all my menus. If you have a special dietary restriction or allergy, don’t be afraid to ask what’s available for you! There is most likely an option for you or an adjustment in the recipe that can be made! Everyone deserves to have a comforting meal.
