Frequently Asked Questions

How much meat and cheese do I need per guest?

A common rule of thumb is 2-4 ounces of combined meat and cheese per guest, depending on whether it's an appetizer or main food offering.

What counts as 'extras'?

Extras typically include crackers, bread, fresh fruit, nuts, jams, honey, and garnishes that round out the board.

How do I scale this for a large event?

Simply increase the guest count field and the calculator will scale meat and cheese quantities and total cost proportionally.
