Catering services are available anywhere on Utah Valley University's main campus.
UVU Dining Services & our on-campus affiliates are the sole brokers for all food and beverage served on campus. No off-campus food is permitted at events.
Unauthorized food or beverages brought to campus events will be subject to a fine of $100.00 or $2.00 per person, whichever amount is greater, and future bookings may be cancelled or declined. A policy violation letter could be sent to the department.
UVU Policy 425 - 4.6.3 All food served at events must be approved and coordinated in advance through UVU Dining Services in adherence to their guidelines and Policy 221 Dining Services. The use of third-party food service vendors at events is not permitted unless otherwise exempted by Dining Services guidelines and approved by the Food Services Director.
Groups of 101+ guests must request food for their event through Catering Services. Groups with less than 100 guests are welcome to obtain food from any on-campus restaurant without written permission from Dining Services.
Please remember to submit your menu selections a minimum of 7-10 days before your event (the earlier the better). Selecting only one menu item for your entire group will help us serve your guests considerably quicker (for plated and served events, it is vital to select ONE entree). From the catering menu we can accommodate a few dietary restrictions, including most allergies, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, religious, and cultural. Food is prepared in a facility that also processes gluten, sugar, dairy, pork, and meat. The facility is not Kosher, or Halal; information is noted on the menu. Place cards indicating dietary restrictions are required from the Event Organizer for plated and served events. Only the confirmed number of entrées will be prepared, additional entrées cannot be added at the event. Due to Board of Health restrictions and department procedures, NO outside food or beverages are permitted, and no food will be allowed to be taken home. No takeout containers are permitted or provided.
It is very important that you notify the catering office of the exact number of guests one week before your event, excluding weekends and campus closure holidays. Changes, additions, or orders placed 5 business days or less in advance will be subject to a $25.00 additional service charge, and are subject to food choice and service availability. Please note you will be charged for the number of guests specified, even if the actual amount is lower. In the event additional guests arrive, they will not be accommodated--please ensure accurate guest counts.
All our off-campus guests (those not using a campus billing index-code), will need to provide an accurate billing address and email. Tax exempt organizations will need to provide the tax exemption certificate form when placing the order. Private parties will be billed prior to the scheduled event. Full payment is due 30 days after the billing has been received unless billing arrangements have been made. Please note, the prices quoted are subject to current Utah County, Orem City, & Utah State Food Sales Tax. Information on making a payment by phone or in person are listed on the invoice.
Unless specifically ordered and contracted as disposables or pick-up items, no food or related products may be removed from the service area, except by authorized representatives of Catering Services. Due to Board of Health restrictions and department procedures, NO outside food or beverages are permitted, and no food will be allowed to be taken home. No takeout containers are permitted or provided.
Events may require additional linens, they are $3.50 per linen.
If you cancel after the 5-day timeline you will be charged a $25.00 cancelation fee as well as any costs incurred. Orders placed 5 business days or less in advance will be subject to a $25.00 additional service charge.
