3 BearBuy and Catering UCSF has over 10,000 catering events; spending over 10 million dollars per year. Catalogs provide simple, automated process for ordering and paying for goods and services from frequently used suppliers. We are adding a catering catalog for campus users to improve the ease of ordering and paying for these services. Launching at the end of April or May.

6 What if I want to use a caterer outside the catalog? Ask Caterer to join the America To Go catalog. Department Responsible for ensuring: – Caterer has current and satisfactory licenses and permits. – Caterer provides Insurance naming UCSF as additionally insured. Use new Meeting and Entertainment Form. – Based on discontinued paper CRÈME form. – Form automatically routes to M&E approvers. – The caterer will be paid after all approvals, including AP.

7 Changes to Meeting & Entertainment Approval in BearBuy New Meeting & Entertainment approver role created for BearBuy. Existing Meeting & Entertainment approvers have been setup with new M&E approver role in BearBuy. Any new Meeting and Entertainment Approver will need to: – Complete a System Access Request. – And send a Signature Authorization form (U-242) to COAPmail@ucsf.edu.

8 Whats Unchanged with Meeting & Entertainment Process Exceptional Approval: Remains outside the BearBuy system using paper forms. – Attach approvals to Catalog orders and forms. Facilities Request Forms must still be used for off-campus events or when a contract requires a signature. AP will review the M&E Payment Request Form prior to release of payment. Moffit Catering is available on the BearBuy website for ordering.
