services are provided. If you have any questions
pertaining to the guidelines, please contact the Nutrition Services
Office at 206-252-0675.
Requests for catering are initiated when a
completed catering contract form is delivered to Nutrition Services
(cube 3089) a minimum of three days in advance of the date for
which services will be needed. This lead time is necessary to
ensure the proper food supplies and staffing are availalbe to meet
the catering request. Catering contract forms must be
submitted with the appropriate budget approval or the name and
adress of the person whom will be responsible for the final
payment. Catering contracts received without the necessary billing
approval or information will not be initiated until such
information is provided.
The steps to requesting catered services
are:

Reference the catering menu to
determine the service items you would like to order for your
meeting, workshop or event.
-

the name of your group, date and time service is requested,
location where catered services should be delivered and set-up,
name of contact person to whom questions should be directed, and
details of specific catering services being ordered. The
catering contract form is available either as a Word document or
.PDF file.
-
If services are requested for locations outside
of the John Stanford Center for Excellence in Education, the group
or individual submitting the catering contract form is responsible
for reserving the building space and making sure arrangements have
been made and confirmed for appropriate audio visual, utililty and
custodial support services. Check with the Building Rental Office
for more details and to reserve building space.

Nutrition
Services (NS) has priority for providing all catering services
both in the JSCEE building and in school sites for
non-district and District sponsored business activities, during all
hours including weekends. All food service requests shall be
submitted to Nutrition Services. Requests need to be submitted five
working days prior to the event when possible. All items may not be
available with less notice. Cancellation must be made 48 hours in
advance of the event to avoid charges. Catering requests for all
District sponsored business activities must have approval from the
accounting manager to use grant or district funds, including self
help funds before Nutrition Service will accept orders.
In the event NS is unable
to provide food service, NS will give permission for an outside
vendor to provide food service provided:
-
NS has reviewed and approved the
request.
-
District sponsored events have the prior
approval of the accounting manager.
-
Payment is made for NS personnel to
assist when using District food equipment.
-
The outside caterer provides proof of
insurance, health permits and business license to event
organizer.
All bills received from
outside food vendors will be double checked for proof of approval
from Nutrition Services. If bills cannot be reconciled to
pre-approved documentation, the bills will not be paid. Un-approved
food orders will become the responsibility of the individual
ordering the food.
Building wide potlucks or
departmental functions may occur provided:
-
Food is prepared or purchased by District
personnel with non-district funds (no grants, self help, district
reimbursements, etc.).
-
Payment is made for NS personnel to
assist when using District food service equipment.
If you have any
questions, please contact Patti Grier,
252-0675.
