Do you deliver to Hyde Park and the UChicago campus?
Checkout says whether Fork Fantasy delivers to your address. Pool takes delivery addresses within 3 miles of the main quad, and the restaurant's own limit can be smaller.
Are plates, cutlery and napkins included?
Fork Fantasy charges $2.00 a person for plates, cutlery and napkins. You choose before you pay, and you can skip them if you have your own.
How do we pay?
By card, or from a pay link your treasurer or admin opens and pays. UChicago accounts and organizations with an approved tax letter can also pay later by invoice or PO. Paying with University funds? A verified UChicago account turns on University tax-exempt at checkout and confirms the statement.
How much does Fork Fantasy catering cost for 20 people?
A ready-made meal for 20 starts at $20.00 a person, about $400.00 with delivery, before tax. Set your own headcount on the order and Pool prices the trays for your group, with tax and delivery, before you pay.
How much does Fork Fantasy catering cost for 50 people?
A ready-made meal for 50 starts at $11.63 a person, about $581.50 with delivery, before tax. Set your own headcount on the order and Pool prices the trays for your group, with tax and delivery, before you pay.
How many trays do we need for our group?
Most trays say how many they serve, for example Mini Pancakes, half pan: serves 10 to 12. Set your headcount on the order and the ready-made orders size the trays for your group.
Can a club pay with RSO or SGFC money?
A club can pay by card or send its treasurer the pay link. A UChicago account can also choose invoice. If SGFC is paying, the cart lists every item with its price for the request.
Who meets the driver?
The on-site contact you add at checkout. That person gets a text with the arrival time, and Pool checks with them that the food arrived.
Can we change or cancel the order?
Ask for changes on your order page and Fork Fantasy confirms them. Cancel for free until 24 hours before your event. Nothing is charged until then. Inside 24 hours the restaurant keeps 25% of the food plus its tax, and you pay the card fee on that amount only. The rest comes back to you.
What if the food is late or something is missing?
Never arrived: a full refund. Something missing: those items refunded. Late or something not right? Report it on your order page up to 48 hours after your event. We check with the restaurant and email you how we will make it right. You report it on your order page.
