To ensure the highest level of service, catering orders and menu selections should be finalized no later than seven (7) business days before your event. Although we will make every effort to accommodate requests submitted with shorter notice, advance planning allows us to properly schedule food production, staffing, equipment, and delivery.
New event requests or changes submitted within 72 hours of the event are subject to approval based on staffing and resource availability. Approved late requests may incur additional fees.
Buffet events serving 50 guests or fewer include one service attendant at no additional charge. This service includes:
This staffing level is based on a two-hour event. Events exceeding two hours will incur an additional labor charge of $25.00 per hour.
For events exceeding 50 guests, one additional attendant will be assigned for every additional 50 guests at a charge of $100.00 per attendant for the initial two-hour service period. Additional hours are billed at $25.00 per hour.
Plated meal service requires additional staffing charges based on guest count.
Your event location must be reserved before catering arrangements can be finalized, whether the event is held on or off campus.
When reserving your venue, please ensure that the following arrangements have been made:
Please allow two (2) hours before your event for setup and one (1) hour afterward for cleanup.
It is the event organizer's responsibility to ensure that the venue is accessible and that all requested equipment has been delivered and arranged prior to the arrival of the catering team. Elon Catering cannot guarantee timely setup if these arrangements have not been completed.
Additional labor charges may be assessed if the venue is not properly prepared or accessible upon our arrival.
Standard event setup and breakdown are based on a two-hour event. Events extending beyond two hours are subject to additional attendant labor charges.
Any changes to your event, including menu selections, guest count, event location, date, or time, or event cancellations must be submitted at least three (3) business days before your scheduled event.
Once an order has been confirmed through the CaterTrax system, Elon Catering will begin preparing food, staffing, equipment, and other resources based on the approved Business Event Order (BEO).
Final approval of the BEO is required 72 business hours prior to the event. After the final BEO has been approved, the client becomes financially responsible for the confirmed order.
Any requested changes, including guest count adjustments, menu revisions, or additional equipment and services submitted within 72 hours of the event:
The Director of Catering reserves the right to make exceptions to these policies when warranted by unforeseen circumstances, including:
Any exception will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis with the goal of minimizing revenue loss while making the best use of available catering resources.
All menu changes, guest count revisions, and event modifications must be confirmed no later than three (3) business days before the event.
Elon University departments charging their events are required to give a 12-digit billing code at the time of ordering. The order cannot be processed until the budget code is received.
Events paid by a third party must include a complete credit card authorization form. Full payment (100%) is due prior to the scheduled event.
Non-University organizations may pay using:
If paying with credit card, a 3.5% service fee will be added to the final BEO total.
A 75% deposit is required seven (7) days before the event. The remaining 25% balance must be paid 24 hours before the scheduled event.
