Food Quantities: A well-planned event is a successful event. To ensure your event is successful, it is essential that you have an accurate guest count, and report it to the Catering Office. Credit for unused portions (including but not limited to bottled beverages, juices, whole fruit, yogurt, etc.) will not be given. Therefore, an accurate guest count will keep you from paying for items that were not required by your guests.
Perishable Food Policy: In adherence with Local Health Department regulations, it is our strictest policy that there will be no credit given or carry-out of perishable food not consumed at your event. Any food removed from the location of the event becomes the responsibility of the Event Holder. Once removed from the event, NSU's Catering possesses no responsibility or liability for the quality and/or safety of these items.
Serviceware: At no time should serviceware be removed from the original location of the event without permission of Campus Dining Services. Items removed must be returned to Campus Dining Services within three (3) business days or a $15.00 charge will be assessed. Event holders who fail to return serviceware for extended periods of time may be liable for full replacement cost of said items. Catering will pick up serviceware from a secondary location for a charge of $15.00.
Late Order Availability: In order to ensure the highest quality for your event, the Catering Office must have sufficient time, so we may procure food and service personnel. Sufficient notification is defined as 'at least three (3) business days for meals' and 'at least two (2) business days for refreshments'. Events booked without sufficient notification will be subject to limited menu and service availability.
Linen and/or China Rental: Linen will be provided for all tables in the Student Center and those that will be used for food service and buffet/served meal seating. Should you require linen for other tables within the Student Center or for delivered or refreshment services, these can be provided at an additional charge:
Dietary Considerations: Adjustments to menus can be made to accommodate special dietary needs. Please let the Catering Office know if this will be necessary when you are booking your party.
Special Menu Requests: NSU Catering is a full-service caterer. Should you require a customized menu, let us know. Our catering staff and chef will work with you to handle the arrangements. Please allow a minimum of two (2) weeks to ensure the availability of your special requests. All special requests will be charged accordingly.
Special Decorations: NSU Catering takes pride in making sure all of your events are professional. We will happily provide decorations for food service tables. Any additional decorations or special requests such as themes, requested linens, fresh flowers, ice carvings, etc., will be charged accordingly.
