Catering

Guarantee

While planning your event we will ask for an estimated number of guests.  To assure adequate food and staff we must have your guaranteed attendance three business days before your event.  (A 10% service fee applies when changes occur after that date.) This number is not subject to reduction and is the minimum number of guests for which you will be charged.  The room will be set and service provided for the guaranteed number.  We will prepare food for approximately 5% more than your guarantee (up to an additional 10 servings).  This extra food is only for spillage or other damage; please do not factor it into your attendance.

Confirmation, Cancellation, and Payment

Your event will be confirmed after we receive your signed contract and either Workday billing information or a cash deposit.  Cancellations will be accepted three business days prior to your event.  After that time you will be billed for actual costs incurred.  ALL EVENTS MUST BE PAID IN FULL 7 business days prior to the event with the exception of those hosted by a University department using Workday internal billing.  For tax-exempt clients, please forward a copy of your tax exemption certificate with your deposit.  All functions are subject to Florida State Sales Tax.  You may pay by cash, cashier’s check, money order, Visa, Mastercard, or American Express.

Quality and Food Safety

For every function, large or small, we will provide the finest service and food available.  Our professional chefs use premium ingredients to make your meal a memorable experience.   We follow industry-mandated food handling procedures for your protection.  Those procedures include: not serving food that isn’t produced by Panther Catering or one of our approved vendors; adhering to time and temperature limits for safely serving food, and not allowing the removal of foods from functions for later consumption. These procedures are to protect your guests and the University.
