Our Promise

Ferris Dining Services provides professional catering services for any occasion. It is our goal to focus on your event and assist you in making it a success. Our team takes pride in delivering an exceptional experience to the campus community.

Payment

All unaffiliated functions must be paid in full one week prior to the scheduled event and a 50% deposit is required when placing the order. Accepted methods of payment include cash, check, credit card, or budget number. University sponsored events orders must provide a budget number.

 Policies

• Booking time frame - Ferris State University Catering strongly encourages booking your event as early as possible.
  
  

• Quotes sent for planning and pricing purposes do not hold availability on the catering calendar. Dates and times for events are guaranteed upon the receipt of a signed Banquet Event Order (BEO) for a University provided event. Unaffiliated orders will be guaranteed upon receipt of the BEO and required 50% deposit.

• All catering menus and pricing are guaranteed from the point the catering order is confirmed and a deposit is received.
  
  
• Preliminary menu pricing can be agreed upon no earlier than four (4) months prior to the event date.                                                                                                       

• Any orders requested less than two weeks out from the event date will be subject to a $25 late booking fee and will be filled on as availability allows.

                                                                                                         
• A cancellation fee will be applied to any orders canceled with less than 7 business days notice.                                                                                                        
• FSU Catering may limit services during peak times in order to maintain high levels of service for all parties.
  
  
• Minimum orders for events vary by type and location.                                                                                                                 
• The guaranteed number of guests and all request for special dietary accommodations must be received by the Catering Office at least 7 days prior to your function.                                                                                                                
• Except for a wedding cake, no food may be brought into a catered event. The State of Michigan Food, Health and Safety Regulations mandate this prohibition. These regulations also mandate that leftover perishable foods may not be removed from any event by anyone except food service staff. This policy addresses public safety concerns and is non-negotiable.                                                                                                                                                          
  

• Perishable items are limited to a two-hour service period. Longer service requires resetting arrangements and fees. Food items will be removed at the end of the contracted service period to ensure food quality.
