CATERING BILLING INFORMATION

1. The only fee that may be directly billed as a KVH Kashrus Fee to the client is the “Kosher Certified Event Fee” as listed in this document, or as invoiced. Any further cost a caterer wishes to pass along to the consumer, should be billed under another name, such as “Kosher overhead costs” etc. the words: Kashrus, Kashruth or Kashrut may not be used.
2. Should it be determined that more than one Mashgiach is necessary all fees will be multiplied by the number of Mashgichim needed. One Kosher supervisors usually sufficient events taking place at Shuls, Temples, and schools, while events taking place at hotels generally require two or more kosher supervisors.
3. All Billing is rounded up to 30 min.
4. Travel Time & Travel Expenses
   • For weekday events will be billed when exceeding 15 miles from our office address (665 Beacon St, Boston,
     MA 02215)
     1. Travel Time will be billed at the regular event rates
     2. Travel Expenses will be billed at the federal mileage rate $.54 per mile
   • For Shabbos Events, accommodations must be provided unless the event is being held within the Greater Boston Eruv. (or approved equivalent).
     1. With the exception of Shuls within the Eruv, walking time will be billed for events in which the Mashgiach is required to walk more than 1.5 miles..
     2. Events held at sites outside the Greater Boston Eruv. (or approved equivalent) accommodations must be provided within half a mile from the event site so as to avoid any questions of Techum Shabbos (the
        distance one is allowed to walk on Shabbos outside of domicile limits).
     3. Shabbos Event in Hotel – the Mashgiach must be provided accommodations in the same Hotel where food service is occurring.
     4. When accommodations are required, the accommodations must be available at least one hour before the Mashgiach starts working, and checkout cannot be until after Shabbos. Usually this will require a 2 day booking.
5. Scheduling a Mashgiach for weekday events – we strongly encourage that a Mashgiach is requested 3 hr prior
   to the start of the event, and should generally be expected to remain on site at least 1 hr after the event.
