This sounds like a great idea, has this been done before and if so how did it
turn out?

I still can't imagine how everyone doing a dayboard can figure out the amout
of food to make if you don't know how many will be there.  Is a dayboard a
meal or just things to knosh on?  Dayboards and offboards are unfamilar in
Trimaris.  Guess it goes back to tradition.

I size feast based on the size of the feast hall and what the kitchen
equipment can handle.  We post a waiting list at reservation in case we get
any openings.  I find it alot easier buying and planning food when I know how
many I'll be feeding.
