By booking services with Irimaki Live Sushi Catering, Irimaki Catering, or any affiliated entity operating under the Irimaki brand, the client agrees to the following Terms and Conditions.
1. Nature of Service
Irimaki is a private, chef driven, on site catering service specializing in live sushi and premium culinary experiences. Irimaki is not a restaurant and does not operate as a standard food vendor.
Each event requires advance planning, ingredient sourcing, preparation, transportation, setup, live service, breakdown, and post event cleanup. Total labor time typically ranges from 8 to 10 hours or more per event, regardless of the duration of guest service.
2. Pricing, Menus, and Minimums
Irimaki reserves the right to establish minimum guest counts, minimum spend requirements, menu minimums, and service minimums per event.
Menu items, pricing, and service offerings are subject to change based on ingredient availability, seasonality, market pricing, labor requirements, and logistical factors.
Final pricing, menu selections, guest count, and scope of service are confirmed only once a written proposal or invoice has been issued and accepted by the client.
3. Guest Count and Event Scope
The final guaranteed guest count must be confirmed no later than 72 hours prior to the event unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
Guest count increases may be accepted up to 24 hours prior to the event, subject to ingredient availability and staffing capacity. Additional charges will apply.
Reductions in guest count after confirmation will not result in a price reduction.
4. Deposits and Payment Terms
A non refundable deposit of 50 percent of the estimated total event cost is required to secure the event date.
The remaining balance is due upon completion of the event unless otherwise agreed to in writing.
Deposits are applied toward ingredient procurement, labor scheduling, and event date exclusivity and are non refundable under all circumstances.
Accepted forms of payment include cash, check, Zelle, wire transfer, and cryptocurrency. If credit or debit cards are accepted, a processing fee may apply.
5. Additional Charges
Additional charges may be incurred for, but are not limited to:
• Event time exceeding the scheduled service window
• Additional staff requested or required
• Last minute guest count increases
• Menu changes or substitutions
• Venue delays, access restrictions, or operational limitations
• Additional permits, insurance coverage, or venue requirements beyond Irimaki’s basic coverage
• Equipment rental, replacement, or extraordinary setup requirements
All additional charges will be reflected on the final invoice.
6. Cancellations and Rescheduling
All deposits are non refundable.
Events may be rescheduled based on availability. Rescheduling does not entitle the client to any refund.
If an event is canceled or rescheduled within five days of the scheduled event date, an additional cancellation fee of 30 percent of the total event cost will apply.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests made more than five days prior to the event date will not incur an additional fee beyond the non refundable deposit.
7. Venue Requirements and Permit
The client is responsible for ensuring the venue allows on site food preparation and live service.
Irimaki can provide basic insurance coverage and standard documentation. Any additional permits, insurance certificates, or venue specific requirements beyond standard coverage will be billed to the client and reflected on the final invoice.
Irimaki is not responsible for service limitations caused by venue restrictions, delays, power issues, or lack of access.
8. Outside Food and Alcohol
Outside food and alcohol are permitted unless otherwise restricted by the venue.
Irimaki assumes no responsibility for food safety, quality, or service related to outside food or beverages provided by the client or third parties.
9. Food Safety and Allergie
Irimaki follows strict food safety standards.
Clients are responsible for informing Irimaki of any known allergies or dietary restrictions in advance. While reasonable accommodations may be made, Irimaki cannot guarantee an allergen free environment.
Consumption of raw or undercooked seafood carries inherent risks. By engaging Irimaki, the client and guests acknowledge and accept these risks.
10. Guest Conduct and Safety
Irimaki reserves the right to suspend or terminate service if conditions become unsafe, unsanitary, abusive, or threatening due to guest behavior, intoxication, venue conditions, or third party actions.
No refunds will be issued if service is suspended or terminated for safety reasons.
11. Damage and Liability
The client is responsible for any damage to Irimaki equipment, tools, or property caused by guests, venue staff, or third parties during the event.
Irimaki’s total liability is limited to the amount paid for the event. Irimaki shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages.
12. Force Majeure
Irimaki shall not be held liable for failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond reasonable control, including extreme weather, natural disasters, power outages, supply chain disruptions, government restrictions, or acts of God.
In such cases, Irimaki will make reasonable efforts to reschedule the event based on availability.
13. Gratuity
Gratuity is optional and not included unless explicitly stated in writing.
14. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
These Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of Florida. Any dispute shall be resolved exclusively in the appropriate courts located in Florida.
15. Acceptance of Term
By submitting a deposit, approving a proposal, or proceeding with an event, the client confirms they have read, understood, and agreed to these Terms and Conditions.
