We provide full service catering for small or large groups with a wide range to include meeting breaks, luncheons, dinners, barbecues and receptions. We pride ourselves in being able to meet everyone’s catering needs. In order to properly plan your event contact the catering office at least 10 days before the event.

This is the time for a detailed discussion of all specific details. We can help you make all the necessary decisions to determine which of our services will best suit your needs. After we have finalized all the details of your special event, you will receive a confirmation through the mail. It is vital that you read over this confirmation carefully as this is the information we will use to make your event a success.

All final changes must be made at least two business days prior to your function. If you do not contact us with a final count within the two business days allowed, we will prepare for the estimated number and charge accordingly. Please note that all prices quoted in this guide are subject to change.

Billing and Payment Information
A guaranteed number of guests for service will be arranged at least two business days in advance. Once a guaranteed number is given you will be billed for that number plus any additional guests. Accurate guarantees are essential for a successful event.

Any cancellations must be made at least five business days prior to your function. Cancellations made in less than the allotted time frame will incur charges at the discretion of the food service general manager.

A delivery and set up fee for each campus delivery is based on the set up requirements. There is a minimum $10.00 set up fee for all deliveries based on simple requirements of paper and plastic products. China, silver, equipment and set up specifications will determine all other delivery and set up charges. This charge will be determined when your event is booked and requirements are discussed.

All JSU funded events require a purchase order. The purchase order must be obtained from the JSU Purchasing Department and dated before the date of the event. Personal purchases and off campus groups will be required to pay in full 5 days prior to the event. If payment is not received in the allotted time service will not be provided. An invoice will be issued after the event has occurred.

All prices quoted in this guide are without tax. If your organization is exempt from paying taxes you must provide your state tax exempt certificate when booking the event. All other groups will have the appropriate sales tax added.
