Cancelation 7 or More Days Prior to the Event: Full Refund
Your SnackPit order is cancelable for a full refund until 7 days prior to your event. For example, if your event is scheduled on a Monday, to be eligible for a full refund you would need to cancel your order by 12:00 noon EST the prior Monday.
After a cancelation request is processed, a confirmation will be sent to the email address on file and a full credit will be issued to the credit card used for the order within 3 business days. Note: Depending on the financial institution, please allow 7-10 days for the credit to appear on your account.
Tip: The first email reminder for a booked event is sent 10 days before your event. If you think you’ll need to cancel, this is the best time to do it to ensure a full refund.
Late Cancelation: 50% Refund
An amount equal to 50% of the order total will be assessed for cancelations less than 7 days prior to your event. A confirmation of the cancelation will be sent to the email address on file and the 50% credit will be issued to the credit card used for the order within 3 business days. Note: Depending on the financial institution, please allow 7-10 days for the credit to appear on your account.
If you need to cancel your event, please contact us at serving@drsnackpit.com as soon as you can.

You will receive two separate confirmations because they are generated by two different system processes.
The first is your order confirmation, the second is your reservation booking confirmation.
-
Our SnackPit cart is self-contained and does not require water or electricity for operations.
However, to deliver hot dog service, we use an electronic hot dog roller. Our preference is to gain access to electricity at the designated location—D&R SnackPit will arrive with extension cords.
However, if this is not an option we do have a low-noise generator.
-
Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) is an FDA food safety management system. Per these guidelines:
Hot dogs: The maximum hold time for hot dogs after cooking is 4 hours then they must be discarded.
PB&Js: Per the manufacturer, thawed sandwiches should be eaten within 1 day or 24 hours for best taste and refreezing is not recommended.
Therefore, to comply with HACCP food safety and manufacturer guidelines, the Cartmaster will dispose of any remaining hot dogs or PBJs that have not been distributed during your event.
-
D&R SnackPit is only licensed to sell commercially produced and packaged items. All of our products are hermetically sealed by the manufacturer and stamped with an expiration date for quality control.
However, if you would like the CartMaster to reserve space on the cart to distribute non-edible party favors to guests that visit the cart during your event, we’re happy to do so.
D&R SnackPit is not responsible for customer party favors added to the cart for guests and makes no representations and extends no warranties of any kind, either express or implied, to the party favors offered.
-
We get it, things happen. If an unforseen circumstance or inclement weather forces the cancelation of your outdoor event (and relocating the SnackPit to an indoor location is not an option), we can offer a rain check for the amount of your order, minus a $50.00 rain check fee.
Though D&R SnackPit cannot guarantee that the new date you desire will be available, rain checks are good for 30 days from the date of the original event and must be redeemed within this time period. You can check date availability here.
If a rain check is not redeemed before its expiration date, the Cancelation Policy will go into effect and 50% of the original fee, minus the $50 rain check fee, will be issued to the credit card used for the order within 3 business days.
Important: With respect to our seasonal operating schedule (April-October), rain checks can only be issued April through September to allow for fulfillment prior to the close of our operating season (last business day is October 31st, annually). Therefore, orders placed in October for dates in October are not eligible for a rain check.
If you need a rain check, please contact us at serving@drsnackpit.com as soon as possible.

Guests absolutely love the novel and experiential nature of the SnackPit cart—and they typically make multiple visits!
Therefore, we recommend that our customers generally plan for 1-4 snacks per person. Our SnackPit Cart is built using this 1:4 ratio, come in four sizes and include samples of every product in our catalog:
Small serves up to 25 people.
Medium serves up to 50 people.
Large serves up to 75 people.
Super serves up to 100 people.
Keep in mind that you *keep any snack item “leftovers.” Your CartMaster will package your leftover items and deliver them to you before he/she departs. D&R SnackPit will ensure that products used to fulfill your order will have a minimum shelf life of 1 week after your event.
*IMPORTANT: In compliance with HACCP guidelines, the Cartmaster will dispose of any remaining hot dogs or PBJs that have not been distributed during your event. See the FAQ entitled Why can’t I keep the leftover hot dogs or PB&Js for more info.

Yes! In alignment with our Cancelation Policy, changes can be made to your order up to 7 days prior to your event. If the changes result in additional fees, payment is required at the time of processing the updated order.
