How much should I order?
When ordering a buffet, it's always a good idea to order extra food as guests tend to take more than their fair share. We suggest ordering 10-20% more than the headcount to ensure there is enough for everyone. Keep in mind that proteins can be cut unevenly, which may result in some guests getting larger portions than others. Also, it's recommended to order more buffet-style sides than you think you need as people have different perception of a "full portion"
