: : For 200 people you will need about 12 waiters for the table service plus about 8 staff on the buffet line.
: 200 people- 12 waiters - 2 plates per waiter.
: Take the order get the food, back to the table ("waiter, can I have another Drink")
: Take the second order, get the food return to the table ("waiter we need more water and bread")
: etc. etc.
: (IMHO)You would be lucky to have the last guest served in under 30 minutes, or more likely an hour assuming that a modicum of service was provided to the other guests.
: Also isn't it considered polite to wait till every one at the everyone at the table has been served to start eating.

Sorry to reply almost 6 months later but forgot about my reply.
First,the 12 waiters are only for the food service,another 12 waiters for licor service and another 2 waiters for wine service.
Second,30 minutes for 200 people is a very good time frame.
Third,i have used this service and the people loved it.(the best approval)
