Our packages are designed for certain number of guest. Each package has a certain percentage of chocolate to a certain percentage of dipping items. If you have a large guest count and pick packages that are smaller than that number of guests.
This is what will happen: It means that the fountain will end sooner than later based on your guest count.
The hours of service are an estimate for how long a package could last if guest took a moderate amount of dipping items during an event. The fountains are a dessert station and not buffet station with continues amounts of chocolate and dipping items. We do replenish the dipping items for the event a few times based on the guest count for that package. You can purchase additional chocolate for your package ahead of time or pick a package that is appropriate for your guest count. Contact us to buy additional chocolate for your event.
Other reasons why I fountain will not last at an event:
You don’t offer any appetizers of any kind during your cocktail hour.
You have 500 guests and you pick a package for 100 guests.
Guest Count on our form is a reference only based on our experience doing catering for 30 years. It does not mean if you pick a smaller package and have a larger guest count that the package you pick will feed that number of guests.
So Please be advice to choose your guest count for the appropriate package .
