How to manage wedding dietary requirements at scale

Guide

Dietary requirements are a small detail that becomes a big problem at scale. At 200 guests you might have thirty different needs — vegan, gluten-free, nut allergies, halal, kosher, plus the couple's specific requests — and every one has to reach the caterer accurately, mapped to the right table. Get it wrong and someone has nothing to eat at their own friend's wedding.

Per-guest needs that aggregate into a kitchen sheet, connected to seating and the live list.

How to manage dietary needs

How Mezze does it

Dietary needs live on each guest and flow into the kitchen sheet, aggregated with a per-table breakdown the caterer can actually use — total vegan meals, and which table they are at. Because it is connected to seating and the live guest list, a late RSVP or a moved guest updates the kitchen sheet automatically.

Questions we hear

How do dietary needs reach the caterer?

They aggregate into a kitchen sheet with totals and a per-table breakdown the caterer can use.

What if a guest with an allergy moves tables?

Because dietary data is connected to seating, moving the guest moves their meal in the kitchen sheet.

Do late changes reach the kitchen?

Yes — the kitchen sheet updates from the live guest list, so a late change is reflected.
