When it comes to cutting your food and beverage costs, it makes sense that less means more. Serving fewer courses is a surefire way to eliminate unnecessary expenses. But equally important to the amount you serve is knowing exactly what you'll serve.
You may be accustomed to offering attendees a variety of menu options in order to ensure that everyone's needs are met. However, the drawback to offering several selections is that you'll be paying more to have a restaurant or caterer stock up on these items.
Instead, work with your caterer or venue ahead of time to establish a set menu. By tightening your menu offerings you can save up to $10 per person.
Want to condense your menu but worried about excluding certain attendees? With comprehensive event planning software such as Cvent, you can ask your meeting attendees if they have any special meal requests or dietary requirements during online registration. Factor these needs in as you plan your menu, so that each attendee can enjoy their meal and you can enjoy the budget savings.
