We receive numerous proposals from individuals and companies, representing a wide range of concepts. Unfortunately, the limited amount of space on campus requires us to be highly selective. We are looking for vendors with established businesses that have been recognized for their excellence, such as with a culinary award.

Interested vendors should send proposals to Food Services by email at food@hawaii.edu or by mail to:

Campus Services – Food Services
Attn: Food Services Manager
1951 East-West Road
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi 96822

Initial proposals should be no longer than one page. The proposal should contain your contact information, a description of your concept, a list of other locations, space requirements, utility requirements, and mention any industry recognition or awards received. Food Services retains proposals for up to three years and reviews them when an opening occurs.

Auxiliary Services’ Food Services is charged with the contracting and sale of Food Services for the Mānoa Campus, excluding areas controlled by Student Affairs (Campus Center, Hemenway Hall, and Student Housing).

Any group or organization affiliated with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa must receive permission from Food Services in order to serve/sell food items on campus, excluding areas controlled by Student Affairs. (Student Affairs controls approvals for their areas). This is a requirement because of the University’s contractual agreements for food service with our various vendors. Requests should be emailed to food@hawaii.edu or directed to:

Campus Services – Food Services
Attn: Food Services Manager
1951 East-West Road
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi 96822

Food items approved for sale at fundraisers are generally limited to baked goods and prepackaged foods. Approval for food that requires refrigeration or heating and/or is deemed potentially hazardous by the State Department of Health is unlikely.

A Food Establishment or Temporary Food Establishment Permit is required to sell food in the State of Hawaiʻi. These permits can be obtained through the State Department of Health. Food Services will make preliminary approvals for fundraisers prior to receiving a copy of a Health permit, but requires a copy before final approval of food sale at the event.

Groups or organizations not affiliated with the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa may not sell food at fundraisers on campus.

The food fundraising project must not interfere with academic programs, campus functions, campus services, or existing contracts.

The following information should be included in your request:

• Purpose of event
• Organization name
• Date of request/date of event
• Time of event
• Location of event (please provide facility-use forms, if applicable)
• Menu (for food safety, menus must be approved in advance by Food Services)
• Method of sales (pre-sold tickets/day-of-event sale)
• Contact name, email, and phone number
• Alternate contact information
• Copy of Food Establishment or Temporary Food Establishment Permit from the State Department of Health (required for final approval)
