| Q. |
How are costs determined at Crush? |
| A. |
At Crush, we are pleased to offer our private dining facilities without a minimum spending limit, as many other restaurants do. Charges for the function are based on beverage and food sales plus taxes and a minimum service charge of $295 or 18% of net sales, whichever is greater. A minimum service charge of $175 applies for lunch functions. |

| Q. |
How are the menus created for my function? |
| A. |
All menus are pre-set for groups larger than 12. Smaller groups less than 12 are welcome to order a la carte. However, we always recommend pre-set menus, as service is more efficient. Lunch, dinner and hors d’oeuvres menus are available. Breakfast options can also be arranged. |

| Q. |
If my guest count increases or decreases on the day of my function, how will I be billed? |
