Policies and Procedures

We kindly ask you reserve the space for your event before you make catering arrangements. Catering in Kryzsko Commons is exclusive to Chartwells. We do not allow any other caterer or outside food vendors of any kind to be delivered or brought into Kryzsko Commons. Including but not limited to Bloedows donuts. For the safety of our guests, Campus Catering by Chartwells does not participate in co-catering whereas we do not cater for an event where another caterer is hired. Nor do we rent any of our equipment for events.

Timely Ordering

Arrangements for catering and refreshments must be planned no later than 14 business days prior to your event date. *Due to supply chain, our menu is subject to change. Any order received less than one business day before the event is considered expedited and an additional charge of $20 or 20% will be added to the order, whichever is greater. Confirmation and final guarantee (number of attendees) must be finalized 10 business days prior to the day of your event. The confirmation and guarantee will include the exact times, location, attendance, menu choices, and room set up. If no guarantee is received, preparations will be made for total estimated at the time the menu was ordered. The final charges will be no less than the guaranteed number.

Billing & Payment

A purchase order number, foundation account number, or a valid credit card on file is required to confirm an event. You will be billed the week following your event. No contracts will be finalized without billing information, and confirmation from the event organizer. Campus Catering by Chartwells accepts V/MC/AMEX/DC.
