Corporate Box
100 baked empanadas. Confirm event availability, serving time and postcode before ordering.
View Corporate BoxA hundred guests are not a hundred empanadas
| Food role | Total for 100 | Example box arithmetic |
|---|---|---|
| Alongside other substantial food | 200 to 300 | Two or three Corporate Boxes of 100. |
| Main food | 300 to 400 | Three or four Corporate Boxes of 100. |
Adjust these planning ranges to the duration, appetites and other dishes. One Corporate Box contains 100 empanadas, not food for 100 people as a main meal.
Allocate the service jobs, not just the food budget
- Name the organiser who will receive the order and check the labels.
- Confirm loading access, lift booking, storage and the route to the serving area.
- Allocate someone to replenish smaller trays and keep dietary portions identifiable.
- Ask the venue about serving equipment, staffing and food-holding facilities. Do not assume box catering includes these.
- For frozen orders, calculate oven batches before committing to a service time.
At 100 guests, the details matter: serving format, venue access, event timing, dietary requirements and whether empanadas are the main food or one part of a broader menu. A tailored plan is safer than a universal box formula.
How many empanadas for 100 guests?
| How empanadas are served | Starting guide | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Part of a larger food spread | 2 per guest | Suitable where salads, mains or other substantial dishes are also being served. |
| Cocktail event or shared food | 2 to 3 per guest | A practical range for guests eating while socialising. |
| The main food offering | 3 to 4 per guest | Plan toward the higher end for a long event or a hungry crowd. |
These are planning guides only. The ideal order depends on appetite, service style, timing and the rest of the menu.
How to plan a 100-person event
- Confirm the venue: include loading access, lift bookings, oven access and the intended service time.
- Decide baked or frozen: baked works when food needs to be ready to serve; frozen creates more flexibility where there is oven access.
- Share dietary requirements early: this gives us the right context to recommend a mix for the group.
- Build in a buffer: a large event has more variables than a family dinner, so do not plan to the exact last piece.
Dietary requirements
Patagonia is vegan and Classic is vegetarian. Argentum does not offer gluten-free empanadas. For larger custom catering orders, dietary requirements can be discussed when you enquire; any suitable options are confirmed for the specific event.
Halal empanadas can be arranged on request for larger catering orders, subject to confirmation for the event.
What to include in your catering enquiry
- Date, postcode, venue and preferred serving time
- Guest count and event format
- Whether empanadas are the main food or part of a spread
- Baked or frozen preference
- Dietary requirements and any venue constraints
