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 and submit your customized catering requests in EMS.
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, 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:
- Seamless/Grubhub ($500 or less): Request a Seamless Corporate Account for your department and learn more about NYU’s Seamless options on NYU’s Procurement site.
- Matto (located in Sosnoff Lounge): Contact Dror Azoulay at 646-526-2032 (NEW PHONE #) or email da@edisongre.com to place an order. Payment via i-Buy is required (Note: the vendor is listed as “Naim Matto NYU LLC”).
- Food For Thought (NEW!): Order drop-offs directly. Payment via i-Buy is required. Food For Thought will deliver directly to your reserved space.
- Chartwells/PLATED: Register for an account, watch the tutorial, and place your order online.
- 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 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.
