Alcohol Guidelines 

Catalyst Catering does not currently have an alcohol permit license for the State of Texas. For clients that would like to have alcohol for their event there are two options listed below.

  1. Beer, wine, and liquor must be purchased by client and delivered the day of the event per rental time agreement. Catalyst will then hire TABC Bartender(s) to serve alcohol at event (cost added to clients invoice). This type of agreement is considered an open bar (guests cannot be charged for drinks).
  2. A bar service with appropriate alcohol licensing can be outsourced to handle all beer, wine, and liquor for the party (cost to be added to clients invoice or client can outsource themselves). These bar services can provide cash or open bars.

The San Antonio Metropolitan Health District, San Antonio Restaurant Association, and the Texas Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics joined forces to create the Healthy Restaurants Coalition to promote healthy food choices in restaurants and good nutrition within the community. Items marked with the ¡Por Vida! logo are approved as healthy menu criteria based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which suggests a balanced diet consisting of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low fat dairy, and lean protein.
