The success of your function is important to us! In order to offer you a professional and personalized event, we ask that you review the policies outlined below.
If we have left any questions unanswered, please feel free to contact our Catering Department, at 605-626-3143.
Quality, Convenience and Service: Whether your function is large or small, casual or formal, Northern State University's Catering will provide the finest service and food available. NSU Catering--a department of Campus Dining Services--delivers the excellence you expect from Northern State University. Our years of experience at NSU grant us the unique ability to understand your needs, and make us the logical choice for on- or off-campus events. Also, when you are booking your event through our department, our invoicing process is quick, easy and efficient. In short, no other caterer can match the ease with which NSU Catering performs functions at Northern State University.
Our trained staff is qualified to assist you in every detail of your event. In addition to food, we can also offer linens and decorations to add a special touch to your function. Collaborating with you, we will customize the event to meet your specific needs. If you have any unique requests, simply let us know and we will gladly accomodate you and your guests.
Room Reservations: Room reservations can be made Monday through Friday, from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, by calling 605-626-3143. All food and/or beverages served in the Student Union must be provided by Campus Dining Services.
Food and Beverage: Arrangements for food and beverage service can be made by calling the Campus Dining Office at 605-626-3143 or 605-626-2928, and also by visiting the Campus Dining Office, located in the Student Union. Please have your purchase order number or other billing information available when you book your party.
Guarantee: An estimated guest count is required at the time that services are scheduled. A final guarantee count must be provided to the Catering Office at least three (3) business days prior to the event. You will be billed for the guaranteed number or the actual guest count, whichever is higher. As we take pride in 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 revision(s).
Payment: Non-University sponsored events may require a deposit or credit card number at the time of booking to guarantee services.
Delivery: A minimum charge of $20.00 or 10% of the total invoice, whichever is greater, will be added to invoices for services outside of the Northern State Campus.
Pricing: All prices in this website are a guideline. You must contact the Catering Office for proper pricing as pricing itself is subject to change, depending on raw food cost.
Cancellations: In the event that services need to be cancelled, a $25.00 cancellation fee will be charged for meals cancelled within three (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.
