Well, not really catering, but serving calculation help.
We are hosting our BIG picnic next Saturday. Right around 100 people - 30 or so of which will be kids. And I was hoping some of you professionals/caterers could help me in some serving calculations so I don't make too much/or too little potato salad! This is our menu:
Pulled pork sandwiches with mustard BBQ sauce
Pulled smoked brisket sandwiches with regular BBQ sauce
potato salad
Coldslaw
Hot dogs for kids
Strawberry Ice Cream cones for dessert.
Chips/salsa/pretzles etc...
I think I figured 1 sandwich per adult and an extra 10 or so calculated in. Half beef, half pork. One hotdog per kid. I know some will eat one sandwich/some two/some little/some big. And kids...well you know. And I figured a 4lb pork loin roast will make aprox 8 to 10 sandwiches. Is that enough?
What about salads? How much of each per person? I think last year we ended up with a ton of salad left over.
Any help would be appreciated.
