try using the gfs website or going into their store. they have a nifty machine that allows you to pick a menu and it tells you exactly how much of everything you need to serve the amount of guests you have.
try their website www.gfs.com
(gfs=gordon food service)
i hope this helps

No. It depends upon what kinds of food you're talking about.
I have a book called "Food For Fifty" that gives you quantities for 50 people. We can take that and multiply it by 6-8 to feed 300-400 people. Send me a message or post a more defined menu.

the information that i have is for a group of 100, you can adjust accordingly
fruit for 100= 20 qts
cheese for 100=3#
bread for 100=10 loaves

Call a really good caterer, give him/her your wish list. 10USD per person would be a good price unless the guests are real wine and foodies. Then, listen to your events planner, and go higher if your budget allows.

Certainly depends on what you're serving!
