Eat local 

Eating items locally produced ensures freshness and supports our local economy. Whenever possible, we use produce grown within 200 miles of our café.

Staffing guidelines 

Our staff provides delivery and set-up 7:00 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday - Sunday. Delivery orders have a $100 minimum and must be placed at least 3 business days prior to the event. Late fees may apply for non-university events if they are not placed within this timeframe. Events scheduled outside these hours will need to be coordinated with the Catering Representative in order to best plan for your event.

If your event requires wait staff, they will be assigned to your event for set-up and will remain on-site throughout to maintain food and beverages at a rate of $35 per server, per hour. Staff will also be responsible for the complete clean-up of your event.  Please discuss your specific needs with your Catering Representative.

Guarantees 

To professionally prepare for each event, we request that you guarantee the number of guests attending your event at least three business days prior to the event.  If no changes are confirmed, service will be provided and billed for the original number of guests. 

Cancellation policy 

We know that at times you may need to cancel an event with short notice.  Due to our advance preparation, complete cancellations within 48 hours will not incur any charges.  Cancellations within 24 hours will incur a charge of 50% of the total, and less than 24 hours may incur the full cost.  Your catering representative will be able to walk through any potential costs incurred at the time of the cancellation.

Linen and skirting
