Alcohol & Catering Policies

Alcohol Policies   

Off-Premise Catering Permits are not available for catering on campus without a license. Penn State University has developed the following policies for the safe service of alcoholic beverages.

BJC Catering will adhere to all policies set forth by AD18 as pertaining to off-site caterings.

CASH BARS AND SIMILAR ARRANGEMENTS ON UNIVERSITY PROPERTY AND AT UNIVERSITY-SPONSORED EVENTS

  • All events on University property associated with the University Park campus (including Rock Springs, Stone Valley, and other facilities) must utilize BJC Catering to serve and sell alcoholic beverages as part of a "cash bar" or catered event. No other liquor license is permitted to sell alcoholic beverages on University property.

RULES FOR SERVING ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

For all events, the following parameters apply to any event occurring on University Property or at any University-sponsored event occurring at another location:

  • Persons under the age of 21 years may not purchase, consume, possess, or be served alcoholic beverages. It is the responsibility of the person(s) distributing alcoholic beverages to determine the age of the recipient.
  • No alcoholic beverages may be furnished to a person who appears to be intoxicated.
  • Non-alcoholic beverage alternatives must be available at all events.
  • Alcoholic beverages should not be served or ordered prior to 3:00PM on a business day (Monday-Friday).
  • Only unrestricted gift funds or specific restricted funds can be used to purchase alcoholic beverages.
  • Alcoholic beverages may be provided at employee events and paid from unrestricted gift funds ONLY when the event is sponsored and attended by the Unit Budget Executive. Otherwise, an exception must be granted by the Chief Risk Officer (for University Park events). The written exception approval must be submitted with the AD18 "Permission to Possess/Use Alcoholic Beverages" form.
  • All alcoholic beverages must be purchased in Pennsylvania per the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB).

HOUSE POLICY

  • All Service and Management staff must be RAMP trained.
  • All alcohol service must be accompanied by a Food Service order.
  • All Off-Premise Catering Permits for alcohol service must be applied for at least 14 days before the event date. Any request within 14 days to 7 days is subject to a filing fee. Any request within 7 days will not be issued as per PLCB law.
  • Alcoholic beverage service will be terminated one-half hour before the scheduled end time of the event for the safety of all invited guests.
  • Purchasing alcohol for "takeout" (for consumption off premises) at events is not permissible. All alcohol must be consumed in the location where the event is being held.
  • Alcoholic beverage service may not be provided for more than five hours throughout the course of any single event: for example, one-hour reception followed by four hours of alcoholic beverage service or, if no alcoholic beverage service is provided through dinner, beverage service could be provided from the point of re-opening after dinner for no more than four more hours.

STUDENT FUNCTION NO ALCOHOL POLICY

  • Permission to use, possess, or distribute alcoholic beverages on University property or at a University-sponsored event will not be granted to undergraduate student groups or other organizations of which, by the nature of the organization, most of of the members in the group or organization are under the age of twenty-one years.

CARDING POLICY

  • BJC Catering staff members will card any guest ordering alcohol that they deem to appear under the age of 30 in accordance with Pennsylvania law. Additionally, staff members may card any other guest ordering alcohol if they feel it is appropriate. Guests may be carded multiple times throughout an event, particularly if there is more than one bar station or bartender on duty.

General Policies   

ROOM RESERVATIONS

  • All room reservations must be confirmed and made with the venue's Facility Management prior to catering confirmations.
  • BJC rooms may be reserved through the Catering by Penn State website.
  • Please direct any on-campus room reservation inquiries to the prospective facility management or through 25-Live.

CATERING REQUESTS & ORDERS

  • Please fill out the Catering Request Form for University Park and someone from our Sales & Booking team will be in contact with you shortly!
  • Please provide Catering by Penn State at least 30 days' notice for your event.
  • If you provide less than a 2-week notice, we will make every attempt to cater your event. However, the event will be subject to product and staffing availability.

SPECIAL DIETARY NEEDS

  • We can accommodate dietary and allergen needs. Please address any special needs with your Sales Specialist at the time of your initial booking.

DEPOSITS & PAYMENTS

  • Non-University Hosts Deposits: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required at booking to hold the date/time. This deposit will be put toward your ending balance. 50% deposit is due 90 days prior to your event date. Final Balance is due 14 days prior to your event, as well as your final "Guarantee" count. Failure to remit payment prior to these deadlines may result in cancellation.
  • For University events we accept University budget numbers for direct billing. 
  • For non-University events we accept all major credit cards and checks. Please work with your Sales specialist on finalizing these payment details.

FOOD SERVICE & EVENT POLICIES

  • Except for wedding cakes, no outside food & beverage may be brought into the Bryce Jordan Center or a catered event, unless otherwise approved by the Food & Beverage Director.
  • Buffet style service does not imply "all you care to eat". Quantities of food prepared will adequately serve the number of guaranteed guests.
  • Guests are not permitted to take leftover food, beverages, condiments, or paper products from the premises of any catered event. 
  • If an event begins more than 30 minutes after the scheduled starting time, all means will be made to accommodate a later start time. However, Catering by Penn State cannot be held responsible for the overall quality of the meal. The Host will be responsible for any additional costs incurred, which will be applied to the final catering bill.
  • Event Hosts are responsible for ensuring that all property belonging to Catering by Penn State is promptly returned. Hosts may be subject to additional fees for unreturned items.
  • Product availability and pricing is subject to change without prior notice. If an unusual or uncontrollable circumstance arises and Catering by Penn State must make changes, substituted items of comparable quality will be served. When possible, Event Hosts will be notified of any changes. 
  • On-campus refuse collection and disposal is the sole responsibility of the Facility Management. Catering by Penn State will not transport/dispose of refuse. Please make appropriate arrangements with the Facility Management or the Office of Physical Plant. 
  • Basic events are set up as a buffet service with compostable serving products. Linens are provided for Food & Beverage tables. 
  • Catering by Penn State can provide customized linens, china service, and attendants for an additional fee. Arrangements for these services must be made at least 30 days in advance of the scheduled event day.

GUEST COUNTS & EVENT ORDERS

  • Estimated Counts: Estimated counts are counts initially given to reserve a catering. 
  • Guaranteed Counts: Guarantee counts are due 11 days before the scheduled event day. You may go up for your Final count number (not more than 20%) but cannot go down.
  • Final Counts: Final counts are due to the Sales team at least 5 days before the scheduled event day. If this number is not given, the guaranteed number will be used.
  • Once the Final Counts are received a Sales Specialist will send confirmation via email with event totals. It is the Event Host's responsibility to review the event order details and communicate any discrepancies and/or changes.
  • There is a 50 person minmum for any full-service on-campus catering requests.
  • Event Hosts are required to provide confirmation by signature on their Event Order(s) provided by Catering by Penn State at the time of Guaranteed Counts due date.

CANCELLATIONS

  • Cancellation is required in writing and all deposits will be forfeit.
