CATERERS
A Caterer is a person or company who provides food and/ or beverages to the University either on-campus or at off-campus events.
The Caterer is required to provide an insurance certificate evidencing the applicable insurance requirements and the signed Insurance and Indemnification Statement prior to providing services and/ or products to the University. If the Caterer is a new vendor to the University, the Caterer will upload the insurance certificate and Insurance and Indemnification Statement into PaymentWorks as part of the onboarding process.

Payment Information
- Villanova University has partnered with PaymentWorks to handle all onboarding of all new Payees. PaymentWorks is a cloud-based software that is free of charge to our Payees. This software lets you enter all your information about your company or as an individual and allows this information to be reviewed quickly and efficiently by the University. This also helps reduce the risk of fraud for both the University and the Payee by ensuring information is accurate and verified as required. Updating your information is done quickly as you can request all updates through PaymentWorks as well. Payees will also be able to monitor their invoices and see exactly when their payments will be processed for payment. Once set-up in PaymentWorks, you will be able to link to other Universities and companies that already use this system for their vendor management.
