Catering Policies

A final guaranteed count is due by Noon three (3) business days prior to your event. This final guarantee ensures we have appropriate food and staffing for your event. Your final invoice will reflect this guarantee and any additional guests if applicable. If a final guarantee is not submitted, the originally guaranteed count will be used for preparation and billing purposes.

Utah Tech Campus Dining Services gladly accepts: cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover.

A non-refundable deposit of $200.00 is required to confirm your event. The remaining balance is due at the time of your guaranteed count, three (3) business days before your event.
