Catering Guidelines

  • Catering is defined as a food order that includes setup, buffet setup, service of food, and/or cleanup. It does not include food that is picked up or dropped off with no further service provided.
  • Catering may be ordered from one of our approved caterers through the America To Go punch out in SLCCBuy. For more information about placing an order, see the America To Go FAQ.
  • Food orders that are under $2,500 and do not include catering service do not need to be placed through America To Go and may be paid for using a p-card.
  • If the caterer will require kitchen access, please contact the Auxiliary Services Manager to reserve.
  • All food orders for college employees, students, or guests must serve a direct business purpose and be in compliance with the Small Dollar Purchase Guidelines.

Food Services Catering faq

Does my food services need qualify as catering?

The guidelines to determine if your food services request qualifies as catering are:

  • It requires service beyond delivery (setup, serving, cleanup).
  • It costs over $2,500.
  • It requires kitchen access.

If this describes your needs, then enter an order in the America To Go Punch-out in SLCCBuy.

What if the total amount, including tip, is less than $2,500?

In this case, if the vendor accepts an SLCC Purchasing Card, simply place the order with your P-Card. If they don't accept it, place the order and after the event, submit the invoice as a Payment Request in SLCCBuy.

What about food trucks?

Before you can bring a food truck onto campus, you must get approval from Facilities for the location. Once you have approval, enter a Procurement Contract Request in SLCCBuy and select "Food Truck" as the Contract Type.
