How Many Smoothies Do I Need?
Planning an event and ready to shake things up with some smoothie magic? Whether it’s a school fete that needs a dash of excitement, a corporate event craving a touch of joy, a dynamic brand activation, or even a friendly team-building competition in the office, here’s how you can make sure your smoothie station becomes the day’s standout feature, smoothly and without any hiccups.
Smoothie Planning 101: How to Gear Up for Your Next Event
Crowd counting: The number of guests you’re expecting will steer your smoothie planning. Running a tight ship with 2 staff and 2-3 blender bikes? You’ll whip up happiness for 100-200 people in just a couple of hours. Scaling up for a larger venue, like a bustling school fete? With 4 volunteers and 3 bikes, you can serve up to 300 smoothie smiles over five hours.
Consider the clock: Time is of the essence when planning your beverage bounty. Longer events might need more, especially if smoothies are on the solo snack lineup. Consider offering a refreshment or two per person to keep the vibes vibrant from start to finish.
What else is on the menu? Will there be other nibbles and sips available? If your smoothies are sharing the menu with other treats, you might not need one per person. However, if it’s all about the blends, make sure there’s enough for everyone to have a hearty pour.
Portion Perfection: Bike N Blend generally offer one size – 280ml which is about 10oz. An alternative size offering is the 4oz ‘sample cup’ which are used at expos as sometimes there are restrictions on the size of free drinks.
Little ones, big plans: Little ones love smoothies, so if they’re on the guest list, maybe blend a few extras. It’s a tasty way to keep them engaged and their parents happy. And our kids size bikes are ideal!
Always Have a Plan B: It’s better to have a little leftover than to run out. Plan for a few extra serves just in case those RSVPs turn into real smiling faces.
