^ see thats the interesting thing- all the venues i'm speaking to have told me that buffets and sitdown dinners work out to the same cost- i guess what happens is sit down dinners = more waitstaff, but buffets = more food than a 3-course sit-down meal. so it evens out?
Hmmm, interesting. Yeah, I guess it makes sense that with a buffet they would have to prepare more food...
