// What changes the total
Why the final quote for 100 guests may land higher or lower
The estimates on this page are meant to speed up planning, not replace the written quote. The biggest pricing changes usually come from the chosen format, extra proteins, add-ons, disposables, the delivery address and whether the event needs buffet-style service or clearly labelled packaged meals.
For example, offices with staggered attendance often prefer individually packaged bowls even when a taco bar looks cheaper at first glance, because labels and faster handout reduce operational headaches. Weddings and private parties often add drinks, churros or chips and guac, which changes the real total more than the guest count alone.
// How to use this page

- Compare the all-in per-guest number, not only the base food subtotal.
- Send the address, timing, dietary counts and add-ons to get the written total that reflects the real event.
