If you are preparing an event with a large number of guests, it is better to plan all expenses in advance, and in advance. To correctly calculate the banquet, you need to take into account a huge number of factors.
Instructions
Step 1
The first is the rent of the premises. If you are planning to hold an event in a restaurant, then this item can most likely be omitted. There, the rent of the hall is already included in the price of the dishes that you order for your banquet. But if you want to rent a motor ship, a hall in a hotel or a tent in a park, then it is better to include an additional amount in the estimate.
Step 2
The second is service. This is usually 10% of the total banquet bill. You can leave gratuities at your discretion.
Step 3
The third is the cost of food and drinks. Here you can save money by arranging to bring your own alcohol. Usually restaurant drinks are a rather expensive budget item. And by buying them in the store, you will significantly reduce the cost of the banquet. Very often, restaurant administrators make these concessions if you order a banquet for a certain amount - from one and a half to two thousand rubles per person. You can also agree that you yourself order a cake for the banquet.
Step 4
When choosing dishes, it is not necessary to order each guest a portion of salad, hot, fish and meat. Agree that everything will be on common plates, and everyone can take what he wants. Order fish, meat and vegetables. Let variety be on the table. If you are planning, for example, 50 guests, you can distribute the dishes as follows: - Fish - 15 servings;
- Meat - 25 servings;
- Vegetables - 10 servings Believe me, there will be enough for everyone and even stay. Only when ordering, consider who is more among the invited - men or women. If women - then the amount of fish and vegetables can be increased by reducing meat dishes.
Step 5
A separate article is the decoration of the premises. Here, depending on your imagination, you can spend from 5000 rubles to infinity.
Step 6
Think about whether you need a host of the holiday or you can do it yourself. Take a responsible attitude to the choice of toastmaster, ask around your friends, maybe someone will recommend you a good presenter.
Step 7
Think in advance about delivering guests to the venue. Deposit a certain amount for the rental of the bus. If guests arrive by their own cars, make sure that there is sufficient parking space near the restaurant.
Step 8
Bring enough money with you when you go to your event. You will need funds if guests break the dishes, if suddenly there is not enough food or you have to buy alcohol.
Step 9
Organizing an event for a large number of guests is not an easy task, but no matter what happens, don't worry. It's okay if things don't go exactly as you planned. The main thing is to create a festive atmosphere, this is what the people who came to the event will remember.
