Catering for 50 people

How to turn half trays and full trays into food for 50, using the portions we publish.

· Brooklyn's Finest

Fifty people is several trays

Catering for 50 people is arithmetic. A half tray serves 6–9. A full tray serves 10–15. Those are the portions on the catering page. At the generous end, 15 people a full tray, 50 people is four trays with a little left over, because 4 times 15 is 60. At the tight end, 10 people a tray, 50 people is five full trays. Order toward the tight end if this group eats, and toward the generous end if there is also pizza. One tray type will not cover 50 people. You need several, or trays plus pies.

There is no 50-person package price on this site. Do not multiply a blog sentence into an invoice. The cart and the phone are the prices. Call (718) 815-7070 for a timed order this large. An online cart is fine for a normal tray. Fifty people deserves a conversation so the kitchen is not surprised.

What to mix

A useful 50-person spread is two kinds of food, not eight. A full tray of baked ziti and a full tray of chicken parm, then pies for the people who want slices, then a salad tray so the table is not only starch. Heroes in a 6-foot length serve 20, so two of those are another way to cover a sandwich crowd. See hero catering. Garlic knots in a normal $3.99 order will not cover 50. The catering special includes 18 knots, which is still not 50 people's worth of bread. Say a number.

Pies: a large is 8 slices. If half the room wants pizza at two slices each, that is 50 slices, which is seven larges before you round up. If the trays are the meal and the pies are extra, order fewer. The 20-person post is the same math at a smaller head count. Do it on paper before you call.

Pickup, delivery, and the room

Delivery is within 4 miles of 1250 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10305, and checkout confirms the address. A 50-person drop-off outside that radius is a pickup. Put one name on it. Give a time. {{hours}} A same-day order this large may not be possible. Ask. The catering special says it can be ordered same day with 2 hours notice, and that bundle is not sized for 50. Read the flyer. It is a smaller spread. Do not add a coupon to it.

If the 50 people are coming to our dining room, that is not a catering drop-off. It is the parties page, and we do not publish a capacity. Call and ask whether that count fits. The answer may be no. Then the food goes to the place that does fit, and we still cook it.

Place the order

Order at Order Online, which is order.brooklynsfinestsi.com, or call (718) 815-7070. On an iPhone or iPad, the app sends the same menu. For this size, call. Tell the shop the date, the time, the address or the pickup, and the tray list. Mention allergies. Gluten-free pasta is available on pasta dishes. It is not an automatic gluten-free tray of everything. Ask which trays can be made that way.

Catering for 50 people from this kitchen is several full trays, plus pies or heroes if the room will not all eat the same pan. Four to five full trays is the range before you add pizza. Write your own list. Confirm the prices. Come to 1250 Hylan Boulevard or send the address through checkout. Fifty people is a real order. It is not a guess you fix at the door. Put the tray list in a note before you call: how many full trays of pasta, how many of chicken or eggplant, how many larges, whether anyone needs gluten-free pasta. Four or five full trays is the range before pies. Seven larges is a pizza-heavy half of the room at two slices each. You probably do not need both maximums. Pick a center, pasta or pizza, and let the other be the extra. One person picks up. The time is before we close, and earlier than a normal small order because fifty people is a lot of pans. If the address is outside 4 miles, do not argue with checkout. Drive to 1250 Hylan Boulevard. If you want the dining room, ask whether fifty fits before you promise the host. The answer may be trays to a hall instead. That is still our food. It is just not our chairs. Confirm every price in the conversation. A blog range is not an invoice. Four or five full trays before pies, or fewer trays if the larges are the meal. One person, one time, one address. Ask about the room before you promise fifty chairs. Gluten-free pasta is a request. The rest is regular trays from 1250 Hylan Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10305, counted on paper, then called in. That is catering for 50 people without a package price we never published. Call, count the trays, and confirm the total before anyone sends invitations. Write the list down first so the call is short.
