Event Requirements

Last updated November 6, 2026

Everything our baristas need to set up a great coffee bar. We'll confirm it with you by text before your event. From our catering agreement:

Your venue, power and access

• Access: our baristas need to get into the service space at least 60 minutes before service starts and stay 30 minutes after it ends. Please arrange this with your venue, including any fees for that time.
• Space: a flat, level spot about 6 by 6 feet for the cart, with room for a line.
• Power: one standard 120-volt outlet within 25 feet that isn't shared with heaters, coffee urns or other large appliances. We bring heavy-duty extension cords. Without suitable power, the espresso machine can't run properly and we may only be able to serve some drinks, which doesn't reduce the price.
• Parking and loading: a place to unload close to the setup spot. Paid parking or loading fees are added to your invoice at cost.
• Permits and venue rules: getting venue approval, permits or vendor paperwork is your responsibility. Tell us early and we'll send anything we can, like our certificate of insurance.

Outdoor events and weather

Outdoor service needs shade or cover over the cart, such as a tent, awning or covered patio, and a flat surface. In rain, lightning, strong wind, extreme heat or temperatures below 40°F, we may move the cart to a covered spot or pause service until it's safe. Time lost to weather isn't refunded, but we'll make up what we can.

If weather makes service unsafe and there's no covered spot, we'll work with you to reschedule at no charge.
