Catering & Event Services New Protocols

• Groups of patrons at a table must maintain a distance of 6 feet from patrons of other parties at all times.
• Either move tables or mark off tables not to be used.
• Cannot place utensils on table until patron is seated.
• Staff avoid touching items that have been placed on the table (menus, plates, utensils, pens, cups, etc.).
• The table will be cleared by a dedicated staff member once all guests have left.
• Dedicated staff member sanitizes the area occupied by customers upon departure including tables, menus, pens, salt and pepper shakers, etc. Consider use of disposable items if necessary.
• Cleaning and disinfecting includes all tables, chairs, door handles, floors, bathrooms, and any high-touch surfaces.
• To-go boxes, pizza boxes, paper cups, and any other paper product that touches food must be treated as food.

• All rooms will use 6ft round tables to accommodate social distancing - this further reduces the capacities of SC 213 A/B and FL Lakeview room due to larger table size than our standard for those rooms.
• All events will require longer set up and take down time.
• Round table set capacity is the same regardless of food or not.
• Cafeteria style buffets are allowed with catering approval and enforced procedures. Attendees who remove masks to eat or drink must maintain 6 feet of distance from other parties.
• If alternate sets besides chairs or rounds is requested - please be aware that capacity will be further reduced due to our table sizes and space per room - work with your scheduler for room layout and capacity.
