Catering Policy
In order to comply with the requirements of the State of Ohio and the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University’s Food
Service License, the following rules have been formulated to apply to all events occurring at the Franciscan Center of
Lourdes University.
 No outside alcoholic beverages of any kind are permitted in or around the Franciscan Center and/or Lourdes University. Violators will be asked to leave the property.
 All caterers to the Franciscan Center must be approved by the Franciscan Center. All caterers must provide current licensing,
workmen’s comp and insurance as listed below.
 All outside food must come from a licensed caterer or establishment. Due to health regulations, no home cooked food is
permitted to be brought in or served.
For your convenience, the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University has a listing of approved caterers. If you choose
someone who is not on the list, the following is required for approval:
 A current Lucas County Health Department Food Service License that allows off-premise catering.
 A commercial liability policy, including food products liability which will protect the permit holder, owner, its officers and

waived for drop offs or self-catered events. Self-catered events must pay on fair market value. Fair market value is cost that
would be charged to a paying customer.
 Building shall be left clean, including sweeping and mopping the kitchen floors.
 Per Health Department regulations, all food must be brought in and maintained at the proper temperature until served.
Food may not be prepared in the Franciscan Center kitchen.

Catering Guidelines
What is and is not permissible at the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University
1. We are a SERVING ONLY FACILITY. That means there is no cooking permitted on the premises. We do provide a prep area but
caterers must bring all of their own equipment and utensils including but not limited to water pitchers, chafing dishes, serving
spoons, coffee pots, linens, skirting, etc.
2. Ice is available for purchase at $1.50 per bag. If you wish to purchase ice from the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University,
please indicate in advance to guarantee that it is available for you. Otherwise, we cannot guarantee it will be available.
3. No glass bottles are permitted to be served to the guests. In other words, if you are providing non-alcoholic beverages, they
must be in cans, plastic bottles or cups.
4. If you are using the conference rooms for plating, the carpeting under and in front of the tables must be covered in plastic to
protect the carpet.
5. The 10% commission check that is due the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University MUST be paid no later than one week prior
to the event. Please note: 10% catering fee excludes cost of linen, china and beverages. This fee is based on the fair market
value of the food only. Catering fee also applies to drop offs.
6. The kitchen area must be fully cleaned after use and restored to its original condition. All food, dishes and related items must
be removed.
7. There is to be no dish washing in the sink. You may scrape your plates into the garbage; however, you may not rinse or wash
your dishes. We do not have the proper facilities for this.
8. All licenses and proof of insurance MUST be in the hands of the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University at least 2 weeks prior
to the event.
9. Caterers are responsible for bussing tables. This is not the responsibility of the facility.
10. There is a loading dock by the kitchen for your use.
11. Please make sure all garbage is placed into the dumpster located at the dock area.
12. A warming oven is available for your use if you need it.
13. The Franciscan Center reserves the right to review a caterer’s service and performance at each event and make future
determinations based on this.
14. All caterers are welcome to visit the Franciscan Center of Lourdes University to view the area they will be working in before the
day of the event. Please make arrangements with our office.
Please sign below acknowledging that you have read and understand the above guidelines and will comply fully. We look forward
to working with you.
