<h3>Make the meal easy to share</h3><p>Offer guests clear dish categories, such as mains, sides, and desserts, and ask them to note ingredients and whether their dish needs reheating. This gives you a balanced menu without assigning every detail.</p><h3>Set up for smooth serving</h3><p>Arrange the serving area so plates come first, followed by dishes and utensils. Keep drinks and any food that needs reheating separate from the main line to reduce crowding.</p><h3>Check the essentials</h3><p>Spend time on food labels, serving utensils, and clear paths between the kitchen and table; save effort by using the dishes and seating you already have. The setup is ready when guests can identify dishes and serve themselves without asking where items go.</p>
