الأسئلة الشائعة
What is the difference between meal types?
Appetizers-only events need more finger food pieces. Buffets require moderate portions of everything. Sit-down dinners use precise plated portions.
How much drink per person?
Plan for about 0.3–0.6 liters per person per 2 hours depending on meal type, plus extra for longer events.
Should I prepare more than calculated?
Yes — prepare 10–15% extra to avoid running short. Leftovers are always better than a shortage.
