Policies
All catering requests need to be received via forms on the Services page. ANY foodservice requests not submitted through the correct channels will not be guaranteed service.
Prices listed in the catering menu are per person unless otherwise noted. Prices included in the catering menu are subject to change without notice. Due to market fluctuations, we cannot guarantee prices prior to 30 days before your event.
Attendance Guarantee: The final guest attendance for any On Point Catering function must be received no later than the end of business 7 days prior to your event. If the event falls on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday, the final attendance is due the Monday before the event.
In the event that a final guarantee number is not received by the deadline, the estimated attendance will be used for production and ordering purposes and you will be charged for this amount. Any changes requested after the deadlines that include increases or decreases in attendance, amount of product, or timing will be handled on a written approval basis and may incur additional charges.
All event planning and specifics, along with payments if necessary along with any special needs, should be discussed with On Point Catering a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the event. Menu requests received less than (2) weeks prior to an event will be at the discretion of On Point Catering. (See Additional Fees)

On Point Catering follows state and university guidelines for the serving of alcoholic beverages with any catered event.
The service of alcoholic beverages is governed by state, federal, and local laws, as well as the Board of Regents and campus alcohol policies. On Point Catering and its designee, at its discretion, reserve the right to refuse the privilege of alcohol services to groups based on the event parameters. Security officers, along with the appropriate age control related items, may be required at events where alcoholic beverages are served. Costs incurred for protective services will be billed to the sponsor of the event by UWSP Protective Services. Protective services confirmation must be provided to On Point a minimum of ten(10) days prior to the event. Any additional costs will be charged to the sponsor of the event. Alcohol service may be closed early at the discretion of On Point Catering management due to unbecoming behavior. All alcohol services will be scheduled to end at 12:00 AM (midnight) unless otherwise pre-arranged. No reduction in costs will apply if service is discontinued. Additionally, the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point requires that nonalcoholic beverages, along with food, be provided at all events serving alcohol. These can be purchased through On Point Catering as needed. Any event serving alcohol on campus is required to have On Point Catering bartenders service the event. All alcohol needs to be provided by On Point Catering for these events.
In the instance of a large outside event that will be serving alcohol, these events will need to provide security and a separate beer garden which is enclosed. The ability to card attendees and supply wristbands is required to be in place. All policies listed above also apply to outside events.
On Point Catering has the right of first refusal for events. Waivers will be approved based off of the volume of events or inability to meet budgetary requirements. These business decisions will be made by On Point Catering after reviewing the specifics of the event.
