Sauced Event FAQ

Sauced Event FAQs

Do I have to use a Set Menu?
*We require the use of one of our Banquet menus to secure a space for your size group in advance.

Do I have to Pre-Select the Same Menu Items for the Group?
*Yes-we ask that the menus are the same since our food is served family style/buffet for the groups and we need to make sure we've ordered and prepped enough product for your group.

What is the Event Service Fee?
*The service fee is a fee that goes towards operational costs for the company as well as a portion goes towards compensation for the sales team and event needs. It is applied to all of our events-whether they are delivery, full service or in house events.

What is the Difference Between an Event vs Table Reservation?
*The Events department doesn't reserve the Ax lanes exclusively. We book contracted events with set group menus and Ax Lanes (Walnut Creek, Orange, El Segundo) all within the contracted 2 hour time frame.

Benefit of Booking Through Events Department?
*You are able to secure in advance. While our contracts include an additional tax, gratuity and service fee as you are securing in advance and removing any "real estate" (tables, chairs or activities) from the walk-in guests.

Can I Book Online?
*You can make a reservation for a sit-down lunch or dinner for 20 or less via our website (availability based on volume in the restaurant).

Can I Book Ax Lanes or Activities (El Segundo) Online?
*We open up the Ax lanes/activities 1 week prior for the public to book online vin our website.

What If I have more than 6 Guests?
*You have the option to select "Ax Throwing for 7-12" or book 2 separate reservations.

What is your Drink Ticket Pricing?
*House Wine/Beer - $11/ticket
*Wine, Beer, Call Cocktails - $12/ticket
*Wine, Beer, Premium Cocktails - $14/ticket

Ax Lane Requirement for Group Size?
*We allow 6-8 MAX to a lane for contracted events so you are asked to book multiple lanes based on your guest count. This is due to the fact that you are seated in front of the lanes based on your group size. We ask you to absorb the cost of the lanes within your throw during your contracted event time frame, especially so that all guests are able to throw.

How do I Take Care of Drink Payments?
*If you select a per person package, the total is confirmed on the contract in advance and no bill is presented at the end of the event.
*If you opt for "consumption bar": anything ordered onsite during the event is charged to the guest at the end of the event. The restaurant does not have access to our sales software program to use "card on file".

What if I want to Book more than 1 Week Out?
*You have the opportunity to work with our Sales & Events Department to secure an activity space in combination with a set event menu and beverage package.

What is the Fastest way to get a Response?
*We encourage our guests to go to the Sauced website and fill out an inquiry form. There is a notes section if you would prefer to discuss via phone. This is the quickest way to get a hold of the Sales and Event Team since it goes directly to their inbox.

Do you charge a Corkage Fee?
*Yes, $15/bottle with a maximum of 3 Bottles per reservation or booked event.

How large of a Sit Down Reservation do you Take?
*We take sit-down reservations for up to 20 or less guests. We also offer first come, first serve seating in our Bar area with access to our full menu and beverages options.
