Catering
Welcome to Canteen Catering where the success of your event is our primary goal.
Organize a Catered Event
You must secure your event location prior to placing a catering order. When reserving your room, please provide as much information as possible.
Ordering
Please place your order with your ICC Events Coordinator via Coursedog at least 3 weeks prior to the event. This lead time is necessary to ensure that the freshest ingredients and adequate staff are available. The final count is due 5 business days prior to your event.
Pricing
The prices quoted are for services provided during Canteen’s normal business hours of Monday-Friday, 7 am to 2 pm. Arrangements can also be made for after-hours catering functions at an additional charge of:
- $20/catering staff/per hour: Monday-Friday
- $30/catering staff/ per hour: Saturday/Sunday
Prices are subject to change without notice due to product availability and market price.
Custom Menus
We are happy to create a custom menu including special dietary options (vegetarian, gluten-friendly, etc.) Please discuss with ICC Events Coordinator at (309) 694-5717 or [email protected].
Serving Ware & Equipment
Catering orders are served with quality disposable-ware. China, linens, wait staff, chef services and other custom services are also available at an additional charge, which is quoted separately. You may request to-go containers for items approved to leave event by catering or event staff. Any unreturned catering equipment will be billed at full cost.
Cancellation
We realize that emergency cancellations do occur, and we’ll do our best to avoid any cancellation charges. If an order is cancelled at least 3 days in advance, we can usually avoid any charges except for when specialty ordered food products or prepared foods cannot otherwise be utilized. Cancellation within 1 day prior to the event will incur charges for any food, labor and other costs already incurred. Please notify your ICC Events Coordinator if you need to cancel at (309)694-5717 or [email protected].
Payment
ICC Departments budget numbers will be utilized for invoicing. We also accept all major credit cards and checks for payments.
Additional Policies
- Illinois Central College and the Illinois Health Department code policy prohibits the removal of catered food from any event.
- Buffets will be open for 45-60 minutes from serve time.
- Catering overages should not be distributed to others outside your event attendees.
- Organizers of events who wish to have a potluck or serve donated food items must consult with events to check for compliance with Illinois Health Department regulations.
First Right of Refusal
Canteen Catering has the first right of refusal for any catered event held in any ICC Campus location. This means if Canteen Catering is available and able to provide the services you request, you must use their services. If the request is waived by Canteen Catering, the following is required of the vendor providing the service: Business License, Certificate of Insurance and Health Department Certificate. These items are due to the Events Coordinator five business days in advance of the event.
