Event Catering

All University faculty, staff, and student organizations can sponsor events at UTA with food and beverages, as long as they are in compliance with Policy 5-309 CO-CF-PO1.  This is a campus-wide policy for all departments and for all events, large and small.

UTA Dining Services provides on-campus catering. Please visit Maverick Catering for details on their services, view catering menus, and online ordering. 10% of all Maverick Catering sales is paid back directly to UTA!

External clients are required to use Maverick Catering when booking space in the University Center. 

If you choose not to use Maverick Catering for your event, below is a list of Approved Caterers and Approved Food Trucks that may be used on campus.  You must submit your request to use an outside caterer at least 14 days in advance of your event by completing the Outside Vendor Request (linked in the sidebar to the left). Our department will email approval status once received.   

In the PaymentWorks column, the "Y" signifies that the caterer can be paid directly by departments.  If a department wishes to pay an approved caterer with PaymentWorks but there is not a Y in the column, our department can extend an invitation to complete the PaymentWorks process upon request.  You can follow other payment guidelines by reading Policy BF-PGS-PR-12 .

If your desired caterer is not listed, Departments and Student Organizations will need to see the New Caterer Guidelines listed in the sidebar to the left and submit all required documents for new caterers to ucrequest@uta.edu for approval.  This is a separate approval from the PaymentWorks process and must also be completed 14 days in advance of your event.  

For all event guidelines  where food and alcohol are concerned, please see the dropdown menus to the left.
