servicios/puestos/platos extra Explanation: Keep in mind that overset typically refers to the setup of extra tables and chairs. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the hotel will be prepared to serve food to the additional people who might show up. “What used to happen is that if you had a guarantee of 20, the kitchen would plate up 22 dinners. But now they really work hard to not overplate,” Watson observed. “Once they put the food on a plate, they can’t do anything else with it.” (Before the food is cooked, however, the hotel could possibly use it in the employee cafeteria or in one of the restaurants.) So unless you specify in the contract that the hotel will not only set the extra places but will also be prepared to serve, some of your guests may be left waiting for their meals. “Invariably, people tend to be under on their guarantees, so it’s a smart decision on the hotel’s part. But we’re close on our guarantees because we know our clients very well,” Watson said. “That’s why it’s in our contracts. But the banquet manager and the kitchen staff don’t see the contracts, so you still need to remind people on-site that they must be prepared to serve.” Reference: http://www.pcma.org/templates/food_bev/negotiation.htm |

sobrecupo Explanation: No sé si será el término vigente en la industria, pero se trata de un factor de sobrecupo en eventos; preparan un poquito más por si acaso llega más gente que la prevista. Como quien dice, "echarle agüita al caldo". |
