Effective October 4, 2019
Caterers with no ABC Catering Service License will still be able to provide table service at events if they are properly insured to do so; however, they will no longer be allowed to transport, prepare, tend a bar, receive donated alcohol on behalf of the University, receive purchased alcohol on behalf of the University, or store alcohol for University events. UPE servers must perform the aforementioned tasks and will charge a fee for service. An average fee for this service (receive, prepare, delivery, and pick-up) would be $125 (does not include bartending).
Caterers who do have ABC Catering Service Licenses may perform all of these tasks, but host organization must verify caterer has appropriate ABC license.
Reminder:
At no time should University or CSE staff who are not in the employ of UPE Concessions ever be receiving, storing, preparing, and most importantly serving alcohol at University sponsored events.
Please note: if you currently have an approved Alcohol Service Agreement and Catering Agreement for the month of October you may honor those agreements. All future agreements will observe the new policy.
