It’s a question that everybody asks themselves when they have NYC catering done for their event in the city; how much food is enough? The truth is, most people have no idea how to answer this question unless they have had experience in the catering business themselves.

There are two different things that will tell you exactly how much food will be needed. One is the obvious; the amount of guests attending your event. You clearly need to take care of everyone. But the other is how long an event will be. The longer it is, the more food you’ll need to hold people over, especially if it is a few hours. It is good then to pick menus where there are  few courses or a variety from appetizers to dessert that can be stretched out over the course of the entire event.

When it comes to NYC catering, professionals are going to know exactly how much food to cook and prepare. They can figure out how many drinks each person may want in the course of an event and usually be prepped to provide even more, if need be. That’s how you know you are working with a great company, because you won’t be worried about running short!
