Indian Functions
Rice: 100-150g/person। Roti: 3-4/person। Sabzi: 150-200g। Dal: 100-150ml। Raita: 50-100ml। Non-veg curry: 200-250g। Wedding/function: plan 20% extra (Indian hospitality = abundance expected!)।
Catering
Per plate catering: ₹500-2,000 (wedding)। Halwai: ₹300-800 (traditional)। 500 guests: ₹2.5-10 lakh food alone। Wastage: 15-25% at Indian functions — food charity partnerships growing।
⚡ CalcWolf Insight
Caterers use the "rule of 6-8-10": for a 3-hour event, plan 6 appetizer pieces per person, 8 oz of main course, and 10 oz total of sides. For buffets, reduce protein by 20% (people take smaller portions when there are many options) but increase side variety.
