Policies


Lead Time

Catering orders should be placed as far ahead as possible with a minimum of 24 hours in advance for breakfast and lunch. For hot lunches and more elaborate events, 2 days minimum advance notice is requested, however, we will accommodate all late orders to the best of our ability. Late requests may be delivered within a 60 minute window from your requested time of delivery, due to the established schedule of the day.


Pickups

All caterings come with tablecloths and the necessary utensils for the events. In the interest of the environment and cost containment, we request that all equipment and supplies delivered to meetings be left in the room. If it is necessary to move any equipment to another location, please call to notify us of any changes. If we are unable to pick-up equipment, it may be charged to your department.
