When we contract with a catering company, the additional fees that come along, beyond the cost of the food, are for handling and delivery, storage, cleaning and food waste management. Those are additional costs. When we work with a catering company to determine the menu selections we want, we won't actually receive the cost estimate, in many cases, until we finalize the menu. That's just the way our industry works. We determine a menu, we submit it, and then they give us a cost estimate at that point, which includes these additional fees I've just described to you.
