Policy: Cleaning Expectations for Pick-Up Catering Orders Policy

Cleaning Expectations for Pick-Up Catering Orders

If you have a pick up order from UMD Fresh Leaf Catering, are bringing in food (with prior approval), or having a potluck for a closed group in Kirby Student Center, the following information applies to the group hosting the event.  The UMD Food Policy applies. 

  • Please be sure to add “food service” as a resource to your reservation in Mazevo
  • Please allow a minimum of 30 minutes for set up prior to the event and clean up after the event; large events will require more time and will be determined with Fresh Leaf Catering. Set up and clean up time must be included when you make your reservation in Mazevo.  All meeting rooms, except for Rafters and Ballroom, are often booked back-to-back.
  • At the end of your event:
    • Department or student organization is responsible for wiping down tables in meeting rooms & event spaces . Cleaning wipes are located in all meeting rooms.
    • Return all leftover food to the catering cart. 
    • The event organizer will assume full responsibility for any liability as a result from consuming leftover food after an event. Stack catering dishes and place back on catering cart (if you went through Fresh Leaf Catering)
    • Stack pizza boxes next to the garbage
    • Place compostables/recycling/trash in the appropriate bin (located in the hallway if not in the room you reserved)
    • If there has been any food spills onto the carpet/floor, contact 218.726.7163 Kirby Welcome Desk so that a custodian can attend to it
    • When food service is provided by UMD Fresh Leaf Catering, return the catering cart with all items back to the Ballroom Kitchen on the third floor or the Main Production Kitchen on the first floor. 


Failure to follow these cleaning expectations will result in a cleaning fee assessed to UMD departments and Campus Life Programs (minimum of $50 but is dependent on the scope of cleaning required by our custodians) or reservation privileges being suspended for 2 weeks for Registered Student Organizations. Failure to return cart and/or all Fresh Leaf Catering equipment will result in an unreturned cart fee or missing equipment fees.
