CATERERS
A Caterer is a person or company who provides food and/ or beverages to the University either on-campus or at off-campus events.
The Caterer is required to provide an insurance certificate evidencing the applicable insurance requirements and the signed Insurance and Indemnification Statement prior to providing services and/ or products to the University. If the Caterer is a new vendor to the University, the Caterer will upload the insurance certificate and Insurance and Indemnification Statement into PaymentWorks as part of the onboarding process.
Food Truck vendors should contact events@villanova.edu.
