What are the per-person limits if we want a breakfast, lunch, dinner or light refreshments?

  1. The established per-person limits when entertaining (Breakfast $28; Lunch $49; Dinner $85; Light refreshment $20). If you anticipate needing to go over the limits, a completed Exceptional Entertainment Expense Request (click here to review) is needed prior to the event. Our team can complete this once you have sent over your Event Request to our team. Please note, Entertainment requests that exceed the approved campus limits are being closely scrutinized by the campus. The policy requires that the expense is approved prior to incurring the costs.

Are you able to arrange a business meetings at a local restaurant and pay for it in advance so the guests do not incur any cost?
