Good point. I have asked for more details. What I proposed them is to be able to give them a number a day before. I think it would be doable to setup some kind of web portal where people can say where they will eating the next day. By default it would be catered food, and people could subscribe/unsubscribe at will. I don't think this is too much asked. It would not be fair and ecological to cater 100 more plates than needed... -- Louis-Philippe a.k.a pollo On 2015-01-28 16:45, Gunnar Wolf wrote: > Louis-Philippe Véronneau dijo [Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 01:13:32PM -0500]: >> Hi! >> >> We received some quotes from one of our caterer options.
