Information Regarding Catering Bars

According to statistics provided by the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, the average consumption of a typical guest at a reception with food is 3.5 drinks for the 1st hour, up to 2.5 drinks during the 2nd hour and approximately 1.5 every following hour.

The MAC recommends one bartender for 100 people. However if you decide to reduce the ratio, it will probably increase the consumption due to the accessibility of the bars. Additional bartenders may be requested at $85 per bartender.

Closing the bar during dinner will help with service, assuring that your guests receive the attention you expect and they desire. This also enables you to control consumption for safety purposes and your cost.

The MAC provides a fine selection of non-alcoholic beverages, as well as a coffee station during the late evening to help ensure your guests’ safety. You may want to mention to your guests that the MAC has beautifully remodeled overnight sleeping rooms as a safety alternative.

Don’t underestimate your crowd!!
Consider the above information prior to finalizing your plans.
