Late Order Availability:  In order to ensure the quality of your event, we ask that all orders be placed seven (7) business days prior to the event in order to give the Catering Office sufficient time in order to procure food and service personnel.  Events booked without sufficient notification will be subject to limited menu and service availability and a $10.00 late order fee.  Sufficient notification is defined as at least 3 business days for meals ant at least 2 business days for refreshment setups.

Billing Procedures

Guarantee:  An estimated guest count is required at the time that services are scheduled.  A final guaranteed count must be provided to the Catering Office at least 48 hours prior to the event.  You will be billed for the guaranteed number or the actual guest count, whichever is higher.  As we take pride pre-planning every detail of your event, adding guests to your party after your guaranteed count has been received may result in necessary menu or service revisions. 

Payment:  Invoices will be issued each Friday, and are payable upon receipt.  A late charge of $7.00 and an interest charge of 1.5% of the total of the invoice will be applied to all past due invoices over 25 days.  Sales tax will be added to each invoice unless we are provided with a copy of the tax exemption certificate prior to the event.  Non-University sponsored events may require a deposit or credit card at the time of booking to guarantee services.

Fees

Delivery:  A minimum charge of $50.00 or 10% of total invoice, whichever is lesser, will be added to invoices for services outside the Commons.

Cancellations:  In the event that services need to be canceled, a $25.00 cancellation fee will be charged for meals canceled within 3 business days of the event.  In addition, the Catering Office will charge for food and labor costs already incurred at the time of the cancellation.
