Catering Order Request Form

If you've been issued a CU Procurement Card or Managed Spend Card, whenever possible, please use this card to purchase any catering you require for CU official functions. If you use your CU Procurement Card or Managed Spend Card to directly make catering purchases, you do not need to complete and submit this form.

If you require assistance with placing and paying for a catering order, please complete and submit this form at least 5 business days ahead of the date of your catered official function. It can take upwards of 3 business days for ENVS staff to review, finalize and place your catering order, and most restaurants require an additional minimum of 2 business days advance notice to fulfill catering orders. 

If you select an MENV faculty member under "Specialization/Capstone Lead", your request will first route to the selected individual for approval and then be forwarded to mary.hardwick@colorado.edu for budget check before routing to bobbie.jones@colorado.edu for processing. If you select "Not Applicable" under "Specialization/Capstone Lead", your request will be routed to mary.hardwick@colorado.edu for budget check before routing to bobbie.jones@colorado.edu for processing.
