somebody shut me the fark up.
Ribs only 1/2 rack per person, ribs and another protein 3 ribs per person, same if you have sides, people will still take more protein than sides. You should have in your contract what you plan on serving so if you come up short there are no arguments.
Best advice yet..... 1/2 rack per person unless complimented by another meat item.
You know if you come up short they will not look to the cheapskate for running out of food, they will look toward the caterer as not properly estimating the food.
In food service, no matter what - you will always be the bad guy at someone else's expense.
