Frequently Asked Questions
What are the setup requirements for your mobile cart at the venue?
Our truck (Sippy) does require power in order to operate. If you’re looking to set up indoors, we’ll need a door opening that’s at least 5 feet wide and a standard 120v outlet.
How about the Alcohol?
State laws prevent us from providing alcohol and we do not have a liquour license. That means that you, the venue, or your caterer must supply the alcohol for your event. We make it easy though! We work with a slew of local businesses that we’ll connect you with to facilitate the alcohol purchasing process at our wholesale rates. Then we’ll take it from there.
Do I need to pay a booking deposit?
Yes! Once we confirm we have availability on your date, a 50% deposit is due along with a signed contract to secure Sip for your event. The remianing balance is due 30 days prior to your event date. If your event is within 45 days, the full amount is due at the time of booking.
Can I use my own bartenders?
Sure! Feel free to bring your own or take advantage of our complete package and use ours. We’ll provide one, or more, certified bartenders for your event.
What types of beverages can the cart serve?
Sippy is super versatile. Equipped with 7 taps that can pour both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, we can serve whatever you please. This includes, prosecco, draft beer, wine, cocktails, coffee (on-nitro), and more.
Please note, due to state laws preventing us from supplying alcohol, you will be responsible for procuring your own alcoholic beverages but we’re more than happy to facilitate this process and give you ideas on what to serve.
How do I know how much alcohol to buy?
We got you! We have a drink calculator to help you plan and estimate what beverages will be needed for your event. Our calculator takes into acount event details including: The number fof guests attending, how much your guests typically drink, and how many hours you’ll be serving and a couple more nuances that the biz has taught us.
How do you manage gratuity?
We want your guests to enjoy the experience and thus we will only leave a tip jar at specific events with prior approval though this is not necessary. We automatically add a 20% gratuity fee onto each package price so come event day you don’t have to worry about tipping anyone out.
Do you carry insurance?
We carry general liability insurance and each bartender has the appropriate certification to serve alcohol in the state of Michigan.
What’s your cancellation policy?
Cancellations 60 days or more, prior to the event will receive a full refund of the deposit. Cancellations 31-59 days prior to the event will receive a refund of 50% of their deposit. Cancellations within the 30 day period prior to the event will not receive a refund.
