Our office maintains a relationship with a few local vendors with whom you can place orders utilizing a house account. For these vendors you will not arrange for payment until after your event, giving you some flexibility for short notice orders.
To use a House Account follow these steps:
- Contact the Financial Operations Office for account/ordering information.
- Contact the restaurant, provide your contact info, RSO, and house account info.
- Complete any confirmation process required by the restaurant.
- After your event, submit the invoice provided by the restaurant for payment.
