Chartwells Exclusive?

June 2007 issue

Does Chartwells still have contract exclusivity for catering? I hear some departments in the 55 East Jackson Building are not using Chartwells. Either it's contract exclusivity or not. If not, let everyone know the circumstances that do not apply.

Response: The current posted catering policy reads: "The catering exclusivity is in effect for both the Loop and Lincoln Park campuses in DePaul owned and operated facilities." Because we do not own or operate 55 E. Jackson the exclusive does not technically apply to offices in that building. However, in the spirit of good partnership with a primary outsource vendor, occupants of 55 E. Jackson are encouraged to contact Chartwells so that they may at least be given the ability to bid on catering.
