Whether you are a small business owner, or a mid-level company’s manager wanted to establish a connection with other businesses, hosting a business event is an excellent way to achieve your desired goals. You have to plan a memorable dinner filled with food, drinks, and conversation. However, you need the exact number of guests you are expecting. Estimating too much and too less can lead to a lot of chaos during the event. That is why you need to know the exact count of the attendees.

Use social media

If most of your guests are young and tech-savvy, you can use social media platforms to create an estimate. In fact, it is one of the easier ways to get the exact count and requires minimal work on your part. Create a poll and tag all your office members and other business people whom you have invited.

You can also use the Google Form to track the information. All you have to do is to create a spreadsheet to store the names, and how many will attend. Then, create a survey that asks for guests responses and you can link the guest responses to your spreadsheet. Once the guests click and fill out the form, all the information will be automatically stored in the sheet. If some of the guests are not using social media and computers, you can contact them individually and enter it manually. This helps to save a lot of time and effort. Once you get the headcount, you can inform the corporate bbq catering Sydney service and get a quote.

Invite particular guests

Another great way to ensure the number of guests is to invite only particular guests who can attend. You can create A and B list. Invite the A list of guests and wait for the responses. Once you find out the count, you can invite the people from B list. By this way, you won’t have too much of unexpected attendees at the last-minute. However, ensure the corporate lunch catering Sydney service can accommodate unexpected guests.

The caterers may first ask for the guests count to give you a quote. If you do not have the count, it may be hard for the catering companies to let you know the exact price. Headcount of the guests is the base for planning corporate events catering Sydney. So, it is crucial to have a list of attendees.
