The CPP Foundation has the sole right to waive this agreement on a case-by-case basis, depending on the circumstances of the event. Following is information regarding the Temporary Food Facility (TFF) Permit and insurance requirements to use an off-campus catering vendor for your campus event.
Please review the Guidelines for Temporary Food Facility Permits for Off-Campus Vendors prior to planning your event.
Cal Poly Pomona reserves the right to inspect /spot check all products being served for appropriate temperature levels, proper storage during transportation, and handling and will refuse any and all products which are handled in a way that do not meet Local, State, and Federal Laws at the Caterer's expense.
Off-campus caterers may provide special pre-ordered catering services on campus only with approval of the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation for an exemption from the requirement to use on-campus catering. They may not sell or offer food for sale on campus.
Evidence of Insurance Requirements
