To the guys who cater. When figuring out servings for sides (150people) - Do you go by the scoop or the pound or somthin else? Say for beans and slaw (cause thats probably what it'll be). Thanks.

Gary in VA said:I usually go by the number of servings on the can for beans.. most say 24 for a #10 can. Green beans say 24 also, but I tend to get less servings out of green beans and more out of baked beans.
1 full size foil pan is usually 50-60 or so servings. a half size foil pan is closer to 20-24
Captain Morgan said:I used a lot of the half pans, and the #10 can of bush beans filled
it up. The can 25 or 26 servings on it, so the math is pretty close
with the above measurements for the full pan.
However, I got in trouble using that forumla with peach cobbler.
Took 2 pans for about 40 people, and they were cobbler gobblers,
complained it wasn't enough.
