Catering at its best!
No DHSU event is too large or small for our Cafe 101 caterers led by "Culinary Institute of America" graduate, Mr. Ernest Sgaglione offering catering services campuswide for almost any type of event. Let them use their professionalism, experience, food quality and service to make your event a complete success.
Cafe 101 can cater hot and/or cold foods, snacks and drinks. A Catering Tray typically serves 15 to 20 people.
Plan your catering needs in advance. While a small event is typically accommodated on one week's notice, larger events need far more advance planning.
Please select either the "DHSU Departments" or "Student Activity Fee" options below for menu pricing and ordering instructions:

STATE Account funded catering: Once you have an agreed upon menu and quotes, process your requisition to State Procurement (purchasing) Office. Cafe 101 can not finalize your catering request until Cafe 101 receives a valid State PO number from the State Procurement Office. Departments with ongoing catering needs are urged to plan and fund your State purchase requisition for your estimated annual catering needs.
FSA Trust and Agency Account Holders: No additional FSA Payment Form is needed when you follow this process. Cafe 101 submits to FSA an invoice with the completed catering form (which the account holder has already authorized and signed). FSA then processes payment to Cafe 101 from the designated FSA account.
