I am catering for 200 heavy eaters. People will eat at diff times for 3 hours during a band outside in the summer.
The customer wants country ribs, Sausage , peppers & Onions, and Baked Ziti, with Broccoli Salad, Potato salad, a large fruit and veggie display, cookies and brownies.
I figured
40# raw sausage, 65# raw bone in country ribs,
16# dry pasta to make ziti, 16# hamburger, 2 oz veggies and fruit combined per person, 50# made potato salad, 50# broccoli Salad, 20 dozen mini cookies, 4 hotel pans of brownies
Can you tell me where I need to add or cut? Thanks

Dawn, I think you will be short for heavy eaters.

40# raw sausage, 80 servings
65# raw bone in country ribs, 65 servings
Need about 50 more servings; 10-12 chickens?

16# dry pasta to make ziti,
16# hamburger,
I would do 20 pounds pasta

2 oz veggies and fruit combined per person, at least 1 pound per 5

50# made potato salad, I usually do 35-50 pounds per 100, depending on the crowd and the rest of the menu- 8 gallons
50# broccoli Salad, 4-5 gallons

20 dozen mini cookies, 4 hotel pans of brownies
Dessert is OK.

Hope this reaches you in time to help.

and now the ribs are boneless
60# sausage =120 servings
60# boneless ribs?
Potato salad 64#
baked beans 6 #10 cans
with the rest of what you suggested or do I still need more meat for 150 ppl.
