Choose counters for the audience
Select counters that fit the age group, event timing and overall menu. A counter should add something distinct instead of repeating the main buffet.
Check venue practicality
Live service may need power, water, ventilation or additional preparation space. Confirm these details with the venue before locking the counter list.
Protect guest flow
Place popular counters where queues will not block entrances, seating or the main buffet. Multiple smaller stations can sometimes work better than one crowded counter.
Coordinate timing
Some counters work best at guest arrival, while others suit the main meal or dessert phase. Timing makes the experience feel intentional.
