Food

Food is usually ordered for lunch seminars and complexity meetings (they are usually at 12:00).

Managing Participants

There is a script that creates a doodle used to register participants.

The list of participants should be present at the seminar, such that:

• registered people can get their food first
• registered people can check of their names
• non registered people can enter their name

This is needed as after the lunch this formula has to be filled out and send to Ann Seares <seares@kth.se>. The list of participants might be provided extra and does not need to be entered manually into the pdf.

Ordering Food

Food should be ordered 3/4 days before (officially 7) and may be updated a day before. Practically it has to be ordered via a mail to info@fagelangenscatering.se (see menu)

The amount of meals to order is the number of participants is:

• complexity meetings: order number of registered participants
• lunch seminar:
  • order number of registered participants +6 (predicted number, please adjust if necessary)
  • should end up being 3-4 more on Sunday, top up order if less than 2 extra.
