Retail Catering

Chartwells’ small group catering program allows for pick up and delivery service from Bojangles, Chick-fil-A, Panda Express, Salsarita’s and Subway.

Food Service Policy Exemption Requests

Anytime an event is on campus and food is to be served or consumed, the guidelines outlined in University Policy 709 must be followed. Groups wishing to use outside caterers for campus events or accept donated food, must submit a request through the Food Service Waiver Form.

Please contact Chartwells Catering before submitting the Food Service Waiver Form to see if they can accommodate your catering needs.

Food Truck Procedures

While food trucks are a great way to conveniently accommodate groups on campus, the University’s dining program, does not have a policy that allows access to off campus food trucks. Currently, Auxiliary Services will only allow food trucks on campus for University sponsored, campus-wide/community events, hosted by a University affiliated group/department. Chartwells has a campus exclusive arrangement which ensures that food safety and liability concerns are managed under their contract. University Policy 709 sets forth the guidelines for food service exceptions. All requests will be referred to Chartwells to maintain the safety and integrity of the food program and that the vendor is not in direct competition with any on campus retail locations.

Food trucks may only access campus at the approved time from the Affiliated UNC Charlotte departm

Steps to be approved for an event:

  1. The Affiliated UNC Charlotte department (inviting department) will need to complete the Food Service Waiver Form.
  2. All food trucks inquiries should contact Ben Kolnos, University Dining Service Manager:

Proper documentation must be provided prior to the event. Completion of the paperwork does not guarantee inclusion in any campus events. Requests will be reviewed on an event-by-event basis, depending on the needs of the event. Parking locations must be finalized and approved before arriving on campus.
