Once a board looks picked through — people stop treating it like there's plenty left.
Even when there's plenty left.
It's not rational. But it's consistent.
Guests see gaps. They assume shortage. They hold back.
Suddenly you have a table full of food that nobody's touching.
This is one of the most common things we see at events.
The setup was fine. The quantity was fine.
But it wasn't designed to hold — and that changed everything.
What actually prevents this:
• High-demand items spread across the board — not clustered in one spot
• Gaps filled before they become obvious to guests
• Design that accounts for how people eat over time — not just how it looks at setup
The difference between a board that works at minute 5 and one that works at minute 45 is entirely in the design and the intention behind it.
That's what we think about before we ever show up to your event.
Comment "FLOW" if you want help making sure your setup actually holds all the way through.
