We encourage you to let the Conference Services office at (414) 227-3195 know the food service you would like for your event as soon as possible. Your cooperation to this end allows us to make the most economical food and beverage purchases and to schedule staff in such a way as to keep our prices at a minimum.

We also ask that you read over the Catering Guidelines below in an effort to better understand how our facility operates its food and beverage service. Thank you.

~ Catering Guidelines ~

• Food and beverage selections, and an estimated guest-count, must be received two weeks prior to the start of the event. A late charge of $25 will be assessed for each break and meal ordered less than two weeks prior.
• A guaranteed count must be received two business days prior to the event. You will be charged for the number guaranteed, or the number served, whichever is greater.
• Guarantees may be adjusted up or down by 10% for lunches and afternoon breaks up until 9:15 AM on the day of the service. Notice of any special diet requirements for lunch must also be received by 9:15 AM on the day of the event.
• We offer a buffet which includes beverage (cola, diet cola, iced tea, milk, coffee, or tea), soup, salad, two hot entrees plus a vegetarian offering, and a cookie bar. A minimum of 25 guests total for all events eating in the dining room that day is required for the buffet. If there are not enough guests to meet the minimum, Conference Services will select an entrée to be wait-served from that days scheduled entrees, in consultation with the respective program coordinators.
• Ordered sit-down luncheons/dinners include beverage, soup or salad, one pre-selected entrée from the daily menu, and accompanying side dishes. Dessert is not included, but is available for an additional charge.
• Catered functions running past 5:00 PM, Monday-Friday, are subject to a $25/hour surcharge, with a one hour minimum. Catered functions running on a Saturday or Sunday are subject to a $25/hour surcharge, with a five hour minimum.
• An 18% service charge will be added to food and beverage purchases where the paying department is not within the School of Continuing Education. Sales tax will be added when applicable.
• Morning refreshments will be cleared from the room at noon.
• The minimum charge for a custom brunch, hot breakfast, buffet, or dinner is $15.00 per person.
• If the standard buffet is to be served in a classroom there is a minimum of 25 guests and an additional charge of $3.00 per person.
• All of the break packages have been priced so as to offer the most popular items at the most economical prices, while still covering our costs. Additional items can be added to any of the packages for the additional cost of the item only. If items, other than coffee and soft drinks, are ordered ala carte, or if substitutions are requested, there will be a $1.50 per person special order charge.
• Prices are determined with the expectation that unused items that are in fact reusable (unopened soft drinks, bagged snacks, wrapped nutrition bars, whole fruit, and so on) will be collected by the catering staff after the event and reused. Removal of these items by program coordinators and staff is not permitted as these items remain State of Wisconsin property.
• All food and beverage served in the conference facility, regardless of the floor, must be coordinated through the Conference Services office. Groups bringing in there own food and/or beverages without the approval of Conference Services are subject to a charge equal to the cost of the food had they purchased it through Conference Services.
