Private Dining and Buyout policies FAQ

Total Restaurant Buyouts require a contract agreement between the client and Cafe Juanita. Equipment rentals, customized menus and other personalized elements of the guest experience are arranged on a case-by-case basis. Cancellation policies for Buyouts are outlined in the event contract.

Cafe Juanita’s Private Dining cancellation policy is based on the Food & Beverage minimum:

  • Private Dining reservations can be canceled without charge two weeks in advance of the reservation date.

    • If cancellation occurs between seven and thirteen days prior, guests will be charged 25% of the F&B minimum.

    • If cancellation occurs between six and three days prior, guests will be charged 50% of the F&B minimum.

    • A cancellation within 48 hours will result in a charge of 100% of F&B minimum.

The event deposit will be applied to the bill at the conclusion of the event, and a credit card on file will be used to pay any overages, associated taxes and service fees, and the property rental fee. In the case that a cancellation occurs within 13-3 days prior to a Private Dining booking, the portion of the client deposit not forfeit to cancellation fees will be refunded to the original form of payment.
