Hi Pamela,
Thank you for your response. I completely understand your concern about the budget. The higher invoice amount is due to the extensive preparation of the food, the use of high-quality ingredients, and the pricing of these ingredients needed to create the dishes. We always strive to provide the best quality food to our customers, which sometimes does result in a higher cost.
