To maximize the benefits of ATG for the University, on-campus catering ordering changes were phased in from December 1, 2015 through February 1, 2016 as follows:
- December 1: No new orders outside of ATG can be placed for existing ATG caterers
- January 1: No new on-campus catering orders can be placed for caterers NOT part of ATG; outstanding invoices for caterers outside of ATG will still be paid. Catering orders placed directly with caterers in America To Go (last-minute orders) should follow the ATG post-event process. This will ensure proper approvals are captured and payment is facilitated.
- February 1: All on-campus catering orders and payments to caterers must go through ATG
Also effective February 1, 2016:
- Procurement cards (P-cards) may be used at any restaurant locations for DINE-IN SERVICES ONLY.
- Use of caterers not in America To Go for on-campus events conflicts with UCSF purchasing policy and is strongly discouraged.
- Outstanding invoices associated to previously committed events/orders ONLY should be facilitated on the Meeting & Entertainment Payment Request Form.
- Accounts Payable and Supply Chain Management will be monitoring these payments to help transition departments into fully utilizing the ATG Punch-out.
- If your preferred caterer is not in the America To Go Punch-out, send the caterer information including name, address, phone number, etc to bearbuy@ucsf.edu. SCM will be working with ATG to contact our preferred caterers and urge them to participate in our managed catering program.
For more information on the catering program, including a town hall presentation, ATG quick reference guides, and FAQs, visit the SCM ATG webpage.
