Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the banquet cost calculation if my guest count changes?

If your guest count changes, simply update the total guest count (TGC) in the formula BQC = TGC * CPG with the new number of guests and recalculate to find the updated banquet cost.

Can I use the banquet cost formula for different types of events?

Yes, the banquet cost formula is versatile and can be used to calculate costs for various types of events, as long as you can accurately estimate the cost per guest and the total number of guests.

What should I do if the cost per guest (CPG) varies between guests?

If the cost per guest varies (for example, due to different meal choices), calculate the average cost per guest by adding all the individual costs together and dividing by the total number of guests. Use this average cost in the formula.
