 Estimating Beverage Portions Hi, everyone! I'm new to this forum (obviously) and can't wait to get to know everyone. Anyways, I am catering a luncheon for 630 people next Thursday and the one thing I always seem to struggle on is when the customer wants something other than canned soda. In this case, they want lemonade & sweetened iced tea. I'm guestimating at 15oz per person... but was wondering if there was a good rule of thumb? I always bring extra to prepare, but would like to have a better idea on just how much I should be expecting to use. I hate ended up with a ton of extra... which seems to happen with this type of beverage, because I do not like returning things.      |

| Beverages I struggle with this one also, I think you are right though, for that large a party, I would go with about 13 oz per. You should have enough without tons left over. |
