America To Go Catering Training Begins May 27!
In February, we announced VCU’s collaboration with America To Go (ATG) to streamline catering orders, improve compliance, and strengthen visibility into university catering spend. Since then, Procurement Services has been working closely with ATG to prepare the campus community for a smooth transition to the new RealSource e‑catalog.
We are now ready to begin the next phase of implementation- training sessions for departments and event planners across campus.
Upcoming Training Opportunities
To support users as they begin placing orders through the ATG platform, we will offer virtual training sessions. Each session will include a live demonstration, Q&A segment, and guidance on navigating the ordering process.

Whether you coordinate events regularly or only occasionally, this training will help ensure a smooth and compliant ordering experience.
