Pot Luck or Covered Dish

When an organization brings prepared foods in serving dishes ready for guests to serve themselves, Food and Nutrition Services assumes no responsibility for quality, sanitation and/or wholesomeness of items. Serving utensils and containers are the total responsibility of the individual or organization providing the food.

Use of kitchen facilities (ovens, warmers, serving line, dishwasher, etc.) REQUIRES the presence of a food service staff member. The cost to you for a food service staff will be a minimum charge of $20.00 per hour.

Catered Meals by Food and Nutrition Services

A variety of menus has been developed to meet the needs of schools and/or organizations. If the menus do not meet your needs, please contact Food and Nutrition Services for a customized menu.

It is recommended that one person from your group be responsible for contacting our department or school about events. Catering arrangements need to be made at least three weeks in advance of the event. Final numbers must be turned into the site manager 48 hours prior to the event. We will make every effort to meet your catering needs on shorter notice.

Catering arrangements can be made through the Food and Nutrition Services office, 913-239-4062, or you may call the food service at the school where the event is being held. You will be billed for refreshments, catering and labor hours, where applicable. There is a $20.00 minimum order (or other minimum where specified).
