A minimum food purchase of $50.00 is required for delivery. Food purchases under $50.00 must be picked up from the Courtyard Catering kitchen area (B-707 TVC). Any items picked up from the catering area must be returned to the catering area.
Payment for catering may be made by a form (1180) standard requisition, credit card, cash or check. If paying by check, credit or cash, sales tax must be added unless you provide a copy of your tax-exempt certificate.
Please schedule your functions well in advance to ensure we will be able to accommodate the order. To ensure the proper planning/booking of your function we request 3 business days advance notice. Advance booking assures our availability, but in cases where we are unable to provide catering services a select list of vendors will be provided. The list is to be determined in the future.

Food will no longer be reimbursed by the hospital, except where required for recruitment or the surgeon’s OR lounge. When meetings occur between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm or between 5:30pm and 7:30pm, food may be provided, if pre-approved by the Executive Director and CEO. This applies primarily to individuals who do not have the flexibility to obtain meals at other times.

If changes occur during the year, these must be re-submitted. The maximum reimbursement will be $8 per meal.
