Menu Options
Most commonly, our guests choose from one of our fun buffet options: Taco Bar, Burger Bar, Pizza Bar, or Pasta Bar. We will consider dietary needs and restrictions (vegan, gluten free, etc.) We can also work with your parties’ needs if you are interested in a served dinner or passed hors d'oeuvres.
Rental Items
We can make arrangements for almost any rental items you may need for your event, (margarita machine, chocolate fountain, etc.), including pickup, delivery, and setup. We are happy to work with you to find the items to set the mood for your event, discuss prices, and suggest alternatives.
Costs
Room Charge – Shuffles is open every evening (closed Mondays) and for brunch and dinner on weekends. If your event requires our entire cafe during these times, we will need to close to the public and secure monies up to and above our potential sales for that day. Your purchases of food, beverages, and retail may cover our normal business sales, however, in case it does not, we will have to add a charge to meet the loss of normal business.
Service Fee – 20% of food and drink cost. This fee covers intangible costs that arise during each event.
Game Navigator Fee – What makes Shuffles different from other catering and event services is our game library. The library at Alexandria is the only other comparable library that we know of and is now destroyed; luckily, we are not! We have trained Game Navigators to teach games to any size group. We have games that play as many as 50 people, as well as games that play 1-2 people. We generally recommend one Game Navigator per 25 guests. Let us know if you have a specific gaming goal in mind for your group, i.e., gaming for fun, ice breakers, team building, etc. Game Navigators subject to availability.
Bartender Fee – We have highly trained mixologists and baristas available for any occasion. Our bartender service fee is based on a minimum 2-hour shift.
Game Pass – This fee for accessing our game library is charged per guest and included in our initial room charge fee. This fee is used to help pay for our library (currently valued at approximately $100,000 and containing over 1000 games). It also goes towards the payment of our game navigators, the upkeep of the current library and the labor used by our buyer to always keep the hottest, newest games in our library.
