I don't know really what procedure is implied by 'dayboard'.  Is this pay in 
advance and be allowed to serve yourself/be served from a buffet table? or 
is it more like a cafeteria (choose items as you go down the table, pay by 
the item after choosing).

When I organized a 'cafeteria style' lunch, I was advised to expect to sell 
about 150 lunches. I brought about 100 of each item, except for bread.  I 
had 250 six-inch rolls as I figured to sell bread with every combination and 
I thought that if I ran out of bread, I'd see sales of everything else drop 
to nothing. And that's what happened, no matter what else people bought, 
they wanted bread and even extra bread.

YMMV,

Bonne
