Catering

Contacts for Catering Orders - 
Ordering - Please contact Chef Rob for all your catering & special event inquiries.  He is in the process of developing seasonal and holiday specific menus and items. Jonathan's can only provide catering services for events held on the Sarasota-Manatee campus property.
Full Service Bar - Jonathan's would like to remind the catering decision makers that they have a partnership with a full service bar company and can offer any type of alcohol at campus events.

Payment for Catering - Payment is expected at the time you confirm your catering order.  Jonathan's accepts credit cards, cash or company checks (but not personal checks).  Using purchase orders, or "putting on account" will be rare, and it you need to do that, please see Michelle Krueger first.  All other methods of payment need to be sought before using a PO or sending an invoice to the Foundation.  Jonathan's does not have a bookkeeping department to keep track of outstanding invoices and tracking payments.  This helps you & your department by keeping the pricing as low as possible.

On May 20, 2011 Corporate Services Group (aka Tampa Bay Vending) announced a merger with Compass Group (aka Canteen). At USF Sarasota-Manatee, for payment of catering invoices that use the PO system, the new requisitions should use Compass FAST vendor # 10456. Everything else remains the same. Rob is still the Manager/Chef, Kirsten is still the assistant. May get a new e-mail address – will let you know.   More at http://www.bizjournals.com/tampabay/news/2011/05/20/tampa-bay-vending-acquired.html

  Outside Seating - there is nothing new, but with the cooler winter weather, the patio is a great place to hang out
  ATM - The USF Federal Credit Union’s ATM machine has been relocated to the dining area       

Open to the Public!   Jonathan's Cafe provides dining services, including catering, to USF Sarasota-Manatee and the campus community. All the neighbors invited!  Please come and join your friends for a cup of coffee, snack or a meal. The cafe offers inside or outside dining. Enjoy!

Parking - NCF parking permits are valid on the Sarasota-Manatee campus.  Other guests should use visitor spaces or request a temporary parking permit from the Front Desk in the Rotunda. 

Kirsten and Rob hope you have a Great Day, Today!
