CATERING POLICIES

WHAT ARE YOU ENVISIONING? 

An elegant banquet for clients or alumni? Tasty boxed lunches for a meeting or seminar? A fun team-building event or homecoming barbecue? Whatever your vision is, we’re here for you. With 30 years of experience as caterers and event professionals, we relish in attending to the details of your event – whether it’s big or small.

Our flexible, seasonally inspired catering menus are just the start. Have a big event on the horizon? Your Bon Appétit Management Company executive catering chef will collaborate with you to create a custom menu that fits the style of your event and the tastes of your guests. As is the case with all of the food we cook at Case Western Reserve University, our catered meals are always made from scratch with ingredients inspired by the season, many of which are sourced locally.

We see ourselves as part of your team, so our goal is to collaborate with you to offer an experience perfectly tailored to your needs.

TIMING

We ask that you place orders at least 3 business days in advance of your event. In the event that you place your order inside of this 3 day window, we cannot guarantee service, but will make all efforts to accomodate your order. We ask that you give us the final guest count 3 business days prior to your function. If no final guest count is received, we will consider the number indicated on the original booking forms to be the correct number of guests. Final guest counts must submitted directly to the catering office at 216.368.4548

BILLING FOR EVENTS

Prior to booking your event, you will be asked to provide a university speedtype. After the event, this will be assigned to a Bon Appétit Management Company catering invoice.

ORDERING MINIMUMS

For all catering orders under $50, a delivery fee of $10 will be charged.

CANCELLATIONS AND LATE CHARGES

In the event that you need to cancel your order within 3 business days prior to your scheduled event, a minimum 35% charge of the projected total will be assessed to cover labor and food that has already been purchased and prepared.

GOING GREEN

To decrease the amount of waste within our operations, all disposable plates and bowls are sourced from Going Green Services, which are completely compostable.

CLIENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND POLICIES

leftovers

We do our best to plan your event so that there will be minimal food left over. Removal of food by guests after an event is strongly discouraged due to food safety concerns. Because of health department regulations, to-go boxes will not be provided.

equipment

All catering equipment supplied for your event must be available for pick-up upon the conclusion of the event. It is the responsibility of the client to work with Bon Appétit to return all equipment.

DIETARY RESTRICTIONS

Special menu items for guests with dietary restriction, or who follow halal or kosher diets, are available upon request. These requests will need to be made 3 business days in advance of your event.
