Brown Catering and Brown First Vendors

Orders from Brown Catering or a Brown First vendor should be submitted on the SAO Catering Form.

Please contact Catering via email to Staff_Catering@Brown.edu or by phone at 401-863-2712 for assistance planning your event before filling out the form. 

Use of a PO for Vendors That Are Not on the Approved List

Under special circumstances (such as a group requesting a particular kind of ethnic food not offered by the approved vendors or other specific needs - religious or otherwise) a group may be allowed to use a non-approved establishment provided they get approval by Brown Catering.

To request approval, email Kathleen Fonseca and copy your SAO advisor and Staff_Catering@brown.edu to get a one time approval. Brown Catering will send an official One Time Vendor Approval email along with the additional steps necessary to use the vendor. Following approval, work with your SAO advisor to place your order and ensure the vendor will be paid.
