Renting a restraunt?

Question

I am graduatiung high school next year and I am beginning to plan my graduation dinner. I would like to rent a restraunt for the night, which I hear would mean that I would have to pay enough for what they would make on a regular evening. Another idea I had was renting a hall and having food catered.

Which one would be more economical?

Answer 1

renting a hall and having food catered

Answer 2

It would be much easier and more economical to go through a banquet facility or rent a private room at a restaraunt.

Answer 3

Good question and alot of factors to consider.

( I'm in this business and see it all the time).

We have a restaurant and we also do off site catering.

Things to consider.

Where you live( is it a seasonal business, like Florida for instance)?

What month is it in?

Is there going to be alcohol served?

How many people is it for?

We had an off-site party that would have been much cheaper had they have used our facilities and then we had some that saved money doing it off-site.

I need more info.

Answer 4

in most cases you dont have to rent the whole restaurant you can reserve a big meeting or banquet hall which many restaurants have. Especially a larger restaurant. your biggest factor is how many people do you plan to serve at your party? if its less than 50 your best bet is the banquet room or meeting room at a restaurant otherwise a hotel or or other facilities with a caterer may be better. But either way it is a good thing you are looking into all this now not at the last minute.
