| Barbara B 02/25/20 | I am the lead for a church capital campaign kick-off event.  We are offering a  catered luncheon after a one-hour service.  The venue is a high school cafeteria that has room for 2 two-sided buffet lines.    The meal is simple so people won't  spend too much time making selections (chicken on skewers, falafel, 2 salads, med dips and pitas). Does anyone know how long will take a group this size to serve themselves? I imagine 15-25 minutes for the meal - what do people think? | 
| ellen 02/26/20 | Barbara, you did not say how many people? Ball park, divide number of people by the 4 lines, take that number and and allow at least 2 minutes per person. Put beverages and desserts at a separate station or on tables or it really slows down. Allow 40 minutes eating time from the last person who serves themselves |
