To initiate a catering request, kindly email cateringapproval@hamptonu.edu at least five business days in advance (preferably ten business days). The subject line should clearly state “(Name of Service) CATERING REQUEST” for efficient processing.
Every request is invaluable to us, and our review process focuses on the following key aspects:

- Background information regarding the event (Conference, department/division meeting, student event, etc.): The more details you provide, the better we can understand your needs
- Is catering/food needed for this event
- Should the menu be scaled back to reduce costs?
- Will the event generate revenue (Summer Conference, potential donor, funding opportunity, etc.)?
- Is the vent being funded via grant or external entity
The Auxiliary Enterprises team will promptly review each request, taking into consideration the provided information. You can expect a response to your department within two business days, ensuring a swift and efficient process.
