OUR SERVICES We appreciate the opportunity to work with you to plan a successful event. The menus in this guide represent our traditional offerings, but our skilled staff and chefs will also create custom menus and environments for your special occasions. STYLES OF SERVICE ❚ KU Catering offers a range of services from our Catering Express Menu (JOF) delivery to your office to formal dining: from very economical to highly distinctive. ❚ We are the exclusive caterers on the KU Campus and will work with you to make your event a success. FORMAL SERVICE Formal service receptions and meals are served with china, glassware, linen and table skirting. Fully customized events with special menus can be arranged with our Catering Coordinator. With advance notice, special linen colors and sizes are available (additional charges may apply). CASUAL SERVICE Casual service orders are delivered right to your meeting room and are served with disposable ware and tablecloths. Our friendly staff will come to your location and set up the catering order. They will also be onsite during the event. ❚ Refreshment Service: morning coffee break or afternoon pick me up-let our team help with that. (cold foods/snack foods only) ❚ Eat and Meet: we will set up the buffet or appetizer station at your office or event. We will come back at the end to clean up. (for events less than 20) CATERING EXPRESS MENU “JUST ONE FRILL“ For the times when all you need is the food, this menu offers soups, salads, hot entreés and any extras you might want.
