For pickup tables Packages #2 or #3
Takeout packages are straightforward for volunteer-run meals because the meats, sides, slider rolls, and sauce are already grouped.
Fundraiser meals need predictable portions, simple serving, and food people recognize quickly. Smoky Rock BBQ packages make it easier to plan around headcount, pickup time, and serving setup.
Recommended Package Guidance
For larger headcounts Per-person menu
The event menu helps when you need a cleaner per-person estimate and a planned number of meats and sides.
Practical Planning Notes
- Set a realistic guest count or ticket count before calling.
- Decide whether volunteers will portion plates, set out a buffet, or manage pickup bags.
- Confirm meat and side choices that will work for the broadest group.
- Call about one week ahead so the restaurant can confirm the order and timing.
Fundraiser Catering Questions
What should we know before calling?
Have your date, pickup time, estimated headcount, serving style, and preferred meats or sides ready before calling.
Which package is best for a community fundraiser?
Package #2 and Package #3 are good starting points for group pickup. Larger fundraisers may be better served by the per-person event menu.
Can we keep the menu simple?
Yes. Pulled pork, pulled chicken, smoked chicken, ribs, sides, slider rolls, and sauce make a clear, crowd-friendly barbecue meal.
How much notice is needed?
Please call about one week ahead for catering orders so the team can confirm food, timing, and pickup details.
