University Catering’s hours of operation are 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. This excludes weddings and events held in the Oklahoma Memorial Union.

University Catering observes all of the University of Oklahoma’s holidays; so, please consult with your reservationist regarding the possibility of catering an event during a University holiday. 
 

For us to accommodate your needs, please have the following information ready before you call: 

• Name of person responsible for the event
  
  
• Organization name, address, phone number and a contact to reach on the day of the event
  
  
• Function date, location and number of guests
  
  
• Delivery service or time - we must be aware of any programs before, during or following your event
  
  
• Special needs, such as registration tables, awards tables, head table or reserved guests tables
  
  
• Special dietary needs
  
  
• Method of payment (with university account number if applicable) 
  • Customers requesting tax-exempt status must fill out a Statement of Tax Exemption on file with our department.

University Catering wants to give all of our clients a world-class catering experience. Please help us guarantee this level of service by booking your event five working days in advance of your function. Orders or changes to orders received with less than 72 hours notice may be subject to an expedite fee of up to 50 percent of the total order. 

Cancellations

In the event you have to cancel your order within 72 hours of your function, you may be charged a cancellation fee of up to 100% of the total event. Cancellation fees will be based on the investment made by University Catering on the particular event that is being canceled. If the University is closed due to inclement weather, orders will not be subject to a cancellation fee. 
 

Delivery Service

Delivery orders are accepted on a first-come basis. Orders must be received five working days in advance; please place your order as early as possible. Late orders, if accepted after the deadline, will incur a late charge. Please be aware that University Catering reserves the right to decline business outside the Oklahoma Memorial Union based on daily volume. In controlling the number of deliveries and events catered in one day, it is our goal to provide each client quality service.

The client is responsible for providing tables for food deliveries. Please ensure the facility is unlocked and tables are ready when our staff arrives.

A delivery charge of $15 will apply to orders totaling $100 and below. Orders over $100 will incur a delivery charge of 15 percent of the total cost. Buildings that do not have elevators will require an extra fee based on the order. Requests for deliveries on recognized University holidays will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will require an additional holiday charge. If you need special arrangements for your pick up, i.e., if a meeting following your event will be taking place in the same room, please inform your reservationist. Please be aware that pick-up times are approximate, and we will make every attempt to retrieve our equipment as soon as possible after the end of the event.
