## Food and Beverage

**Ordering Catering On-Site**
Events that require waitstaff, rentals (eg, glassware, flatware, serving dishes), or alcohol service must be catered. Please contact your [Event Consultant](https://www.stern.nyu.edu/portal-partners/special-events/event-consultants) and submit your customized catering requests in [EMS](https://emswebapp.stern.nyu.edu/).

*Important Reminder*: *Only insured and licensed catering personnel on NYU’s approved supplier list can serve alcoholic beverages on-campus.*

**Ordering Drop-Off Food**
Employees can skip the catering form in [EMS](https://emswebapp.stern.nyu.edu/), instead ordering directly and using one of the following four channels, so long as the order does **not include alcoholic beverages, service staff, or rentals**:

1. **Seamless/Grubhub** ($1500 or less): Request a Seamless Corporate Account for your department by emailing Michelle Garcia in NYU Procurement at <michelle.garcia@nyu.edu>.
2. **Matto** (located in Sosnoff Lounge): Contact Anna Novyk at <catering@matto.com> to place an order (NEW CONTACT). Payment via i-Buy is required (Note: the vendor is newly listed as “Matto Franchise LLC” / Supplier #0000525522).
3. **Food For Thought**: [Order drop-offs directly](https://www.foodforthoughtnyc.com/directdelivery). Payment via i-Buy is required. Food For Thought will deliver directly to your reserved space.
4. **Chartwells/PLATED**: Register for an account, watch the [tutorial](https://fast.wistia.com/embed/medias/77qxcrh2h2), and place your [order online](https://platedcateringatwashingtonsquare.catertrax.com/).
5. **Credit card** ($500-$1000): A credit card may be used for on-site, employee-only meetings or events without alcohol, rentals, or staff. Be sure to read NYU’s [expense reimbursement policy](https://www.nyu.edu/about/policies-guidelines-compliance/policies-and-guidelines/expense-reimbursement.html) carefully for tips on receipts, gratuities, and more.

*Important Reminders*: *Before you order a drop off, please be sure to confirm that your room request in EMS has been approved. An administrator will need to present to accept the delivery.*
