COVID-19 Guidelines

Fall 2021

The University of San Diego has always placed an emphasis on health and safety for our students, staff and guests.
The health and safety of our campus is paramount, and USD Hospitality Services will make data-informed decisions
based on the research, advice and regulatory protocols from state and county health officials, our own internal
expertise and national best practices. 

 

Below are some of the unique protocols you need to be aware of when planning your catered events. As things may change on a daily basis, our protocols may also have to be adjusted. Thank you for your patience and understanding
as we work to keep you and your guests safe.

 

Safety Protocols 

Key safety protocols we have implemented:  

• All service and culinary staff wear PPE (mask and gloves)

  • ​Masks are required to be worn inside of all campus buildings (through March 2022)

• All culinary staff are provided with a professionally cleaned and sanitized uniform daily

• Enhanced cleaning measures are implemented 

• Strict handwashing practices are enforced

• Hand sanitizer stations are readily available upon request for your event
   

Quality

We begin with the best ingredients so that you can end with the ultimate catering experience. Even under the current protocols, the quality of our service and food product remains a top priority. We proudly serve food that is both delicious and environmentally thoughtful. Along with the flavorful side of our food, freshness and sustainability are key ingredients to our catering experience. 

 

Catering Menu

Our full Catering Menu will continue to be available. However, please keep in mind that we may need to adjust food items and service as necessary to meet COVID-19 protocols. If you prefer choices outside of our standard menu we will work with you to make your ideas a reality and customization will continue to be available.
