PantherDining Catering provides catered meals, catered events and other special events for the university community. PantherDining Catering offers a full array of services to accommodate the needs of those who plan events on the Atlanta Campus.
Planning your event can be less stressful and enjoyable if you give yourself plenty of time. You will need to let your room reservation contact know what type of room setup and table arrangements you will require for your event, depending on its location. The larger your event, the more time needed to plan and prepare for its success. Because of the heavy demand for space on campus, we suggest you reserve the room/location for your event well in advance to ensure you have the room/location you desire and that it will meet the needs of your event. Once you have reserved your room/location, call us so we can help you plan the catered portion of your event.
Please note: PantherDining is not responsible for table requests, finalizing room layouts, or moving or relocating food or guest tables. Room layouts must be confirmed directly with the facility management of the event space prior to the event date.
Please give us at least one week prior notice when booking events, as well as an estimated number of attendees for the event. Your menu should be finalized with our office at least five business days prior to your event to allow sufficient time to order food products and ensure proper staffing. Events booked less than five business days prior to the event date will be accepted if resources are available but may be assessed an on-demand fee to cover additional expenses we may incur, and menu options may be limited because of short notice.
Once your menu is finalized, we will send you a confirmation with the number of guests, location, times and specifics you may have. We will need your final guest count no later than five business days prior to your event. Otherwise, we will prepare and bill you for the estimated number you originally gave us.
When placing an order, have the following information ready to expedite your order and ensure you are properly billed:
* PantherDining Catering reserves the right to refuse service if other food vendors are being used.
A minimum order of $500 in food and beverages is required for events at the Indian Creek Lodge. All food must be cold items and will consist of disposable items only.
A minimum order of $500 in food and beverages is required for events held on the weekend. A $200 staffing fee will also be incurred for events held on the weekend.
Events using Foundation funds are subject to sales tax. Speed types are tax exempt. The use of speed types will require authorization from proper budget authority. Outside organizations that are tax exempt must provide a copy of their tax exemption certificate at the time of booking.
Notification of cancellation must be made by calling PantherDining’s catering office during regular business hours, five business days prior to an event. Any cancellations made after this time will be subject to a cancellation fee up to the confirmed amount to cover any costs already incurred.
Catered functions, coffee breaks, buffets and receptions include our compostable serviceware. Premium disposable serviceware may be provided for an additional $2.49 per person. China may be provided for an additional $8 per person.
Catered functions include tablecloths for food tables and beverage tables. Linens for guest tables, registrations tables, head tables and any additional tables that will not be used for food and beverages can be provided at an additional charge. Specialty linens, depending on availability, can also be provided as a special order.
As the host of the catering event, you are responsible for the equipment we have provided for the service of your catered event. Any missing or damaged catering equipment or supplies will be charged to your account at replacement cost. For very large events, specialty equipment may need to be rented at an additional charge.
To ensure your event is a success, attendants may be required. When attendants are needed, services are at an additional charge of $200 per attendant, with a minimum of four hours. If additional time is needed, a fee of $50 per hour per attendant will apply.
Please note: All buffet orders for 40 or more people will require a PantherDining attendant.
PantherDining Catering can provide bartenders and bar setup for your event. However, we are unable to purchase alcohol for resale. It is the customer’s responsibility to purchase, deliver and remove alcohol for events. Campus events requiring alcohol must obtain approval from Georgia State Legal Affairs.
For more information regarding Georgia State’s alcohol policy, contact Legal Affairs at 404-413-0500.
