When you say no profit, are you going to pay yourself? Are you dropping off food or overseeing on site? Is it a typical 5-8 hour party where you want both a meal type arrangement and then snacks? All these affect the food plan.

Pros use Cambros, preheated plastic bins that keep food hot for hours. Sometimes seen at Sams or Costco, available at restaurant supply houses. Check into it.

i've tried most but i pack in styro foam food containers. thinking about maybe changing containers.
