OUR SERVICES
We appreciate the opportunity to work with you to plan a successful event. The menus in this guide
represent our traditional offerings, but our skilled staff and chefs will also create custom menus and
environments for your special occasions.
STYLES OF SERVICE
❚ KU Catering offers a range of services from our Catering Express Menu (JOF) delivery to your office
to formal dining: from very economical to highly distinctive.
❚ We are the exclusive caterers on the KU Campus and will work with you to make your event a success.
FORMAL SERVICE
Formal service receptions and meals are served with china, glassware, linen and table skirting. Fully
customized events with special menus can be arranged with our Catering Coordinator. With advance
notice, special linen colors and sizes are available (additional charges may apply).
CASUAL SERVICE
Casual service orders are delivered right to your meeting room and are served with disposable ware and
tablecloths. Our friendly staff will come to your location and set up the catering order. They will also be onsite
during the event.
❚ Refreshment Service: morning coffee break or afternoon pick me up-let our team help with that.
(cold foods/snack foods only)
❚ Eat and Meet: we will set up the buffet or appetizer station at your office or event. We will come
back at the end to clean up. (for events less than 20)
CATERING EXPRESS MENU “JUST ONE FRILL“
For the times when all you need is the food, this menu offers soups, salads, hot entreés and any extras you
might want. All prices are à la carte so you can customize your order to fit the event. No attendants will
remain with the meal and we won´t be back to pick-up or clean-up. The only frill is the great food! Menu is
available on-line: http://union.ku.edu/ku-catering

of guests within 72 hours of the event will be subject to an additional 50% of meal price per added person. We
will prepare for a 5% overage up to a maximum of 20 places. If we do not receive your final guarantee, we will
