Hope this helps. Be aware that you need at least 3 serving lines- 2 double-sided would be better; 4-5 people in the kitchen and at least 12-15 out front to set up, serve and clean up. These will be working during the service.

This looks like way too much meat/entree, especially with the other dishes. You want about 85 to no more than 95 pounds total raw boneless meats.

The salad is short. Use the salad guide on the plan for 100 page for exact help, including dressings.

55-60 pounds ready to cook veggies

about 40 pounds breads, 8 pounds butter

12 gallons lemonade, 16 sweet, 8 unsweet plenty. Water, about 12 gallons, and the flavored/fruited in large carafes are very popular now.
