Catering menu template: packages priced per person
A catering menu sells packages, not plates: price per person, a minimum guest count, platters for drop-off and add-ons. Clients read it to build a quote, so the per-person price and the dietary tags must be clear. Paste the list below into Menumoor and it lays it out.
What matters for caterers
Say "per person" in the section note
Put "Priced per person, minimum 20 guests" as the section note so every price under it reads the same way.
Two price columns for drop-off and full service
Set the section's column labels (for example "Drop-off" and "Served") and give each package both prices.
Tag dietary options
Mark vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free items with V, VG and GF so clients can plan for guests with restrictions.
