Millennium Cafe Request for Qualifications
The Library Foundation is requesting a presentation of qualifications for a café vendor that will offer great food and service to the 200 employees and 2,200 daily visitors to the Library. Stormont Vail Hospital is across the street from the Library and hospital visitors and staff also frequent the Café. A restaurant entrepreneur with business savvy and great fare to offer could grow his/her café and catering business around this built-in client base. The vendor is required to propose a catering component for events in the Library’s meeting rooms as part of its business plan.
Proposals Due September 6, 2019 at 2:00PM
