Catering a Meeting Break for 30 People: Budget and Minimum

A team of 30 is a common size for a quarterly meeting, an in-house training session or a small client seminar. Whoever has to cater a break for 30 people asks first what budget to prepare, but there is a limit to know alongside it: BreakHub takes orders of at least 50 boxes. This page gives the numbers for all 3 sets and says plainly how a 30-person event can still order.

What is the snack budget for 30 people for one break?

Counting box price alone, one break for 30 people costs between ฿1,260 and ฿2,550 depending on the set. The table multiplies the box price by 30 so you can compare. A real order must be at least 50 boxes, and prices do not include delivery.

Set	In the box	Price per box	Counted at 30 boxes
Value Set	1 pastry + 100 ml drinking water	฿42	฿1,260
Recommend Set	2 premium pastries (no drink)	฿70	฿2,100
Best Seller Set	2 premium pastries + 180 ml orange juice drink	฿85	฿2,550

Delivery is priced by real distance, and the team quotes it before you confirm. Every box already has tissue and every pastry is in a clear sachet, with packing included in the box price.

Can a team of 30 order when the minimum is 50 boxes?

Yes, as long as the order totals at least 50 boxes. An order of only 30 boxes is not possible. There are three workable routes.

• Order 50 boxes to cover two breaks: for example 30 boxes for the morning break and 20 more for the afternoon for people who stay on. If the same 30 people are there all day, ordering 60 boxes and splitting 30 and 30 clears the minimum comfortably.
• Combine with another department: if the company has a meeting or training around the same time, have the coordinator merge the counts into one order. You get the minimum and a single delivery.
• Give out the rest to other teams the same day: 30 boxes for the meeting, and the other 20 for colleagues who are not in the meeting or as an afternoon snack. Baked goods do not keep well overnight, so decide in advance who will take them.

If you truly need fewer than 50 boxes, message the team, but nothing is promised in advance. The table below is calculated at the minimum of 50 boxes so you can see the real budget of a 30-person event that orders the minimum.

Set	In the box	Price per box	x 50 boxes
Value Set	1 pastry + 100 ml drinking water	฿42	฿2,100
Recommend Set	2 premium pastries (no drink)	฿70	฿3,500
Best Seller Set	2 premium pastries + 180 ml orange juice drink	฿85	฿4,250

The extra cost of the 20 additional boxes is ฿840 for Value Set, ฿1,400 for Recommend Set and ฿1,700 for Best Seller Set. Compare that with what you would spend buying snacks separately for another team.

What if the meeting runs all day with morning and afternoon breaks?

For a full-day event with 30 people, the minimum is no problem at all, because two breaks add up to 60 boxes. You can use the same set for both breaks, as the table shows.

Set	1 break (30 boxes)	2 breaks (60 boxes)
Value Set	฿1,260	฿2,520
Recommend Set	฿2,100	฿4,200
Best Seller Set	฿2,550	฿5,100

Another way is to vary the set by time of day, for example Value Set at ฿42 in the morning and Recommend Set at ฿70 in the afternoon. That is 30 x 42 = ฿1,260 plus 30 x 70 = ฿2,100, a total of ฿3,360 before delivery. More detail is in the morning and afternoon break guide. Tell the team when you order what time each break needs the boxes.

Which set should a team of 30 choose?

Choose by meeting type first, then check the budget. Short meetings do fine with the lowest-priced set, and a set with a drink in the box saves you from setting up a separate water table.

• Short meeting, up to half an hour: Value Set at ฿42 gives one pastry and a cup of water, enough for a light snack.
• Half-day meeting: Recommend Set at ฿70 gives 2 premium pastries and suits a room where coffee or water is already set up.
• Training, seminars or hosting guests: Best Seller Set at ฿85 gives 2 premium pastries and a 180 ml orange juice drink, all in one box.

If you are unsure, start by looking at Recommend Set and Best Seller Set. They share the premium menu and differ only in the orange juice drink.

How do I price a mixed order with several sets?

You can mix sets in one order. Tell the team how many boxes of each set you want. The total is the sum of each set, and it must be at least 50 boxes. The examples below are worked at 50 boxes, the size that a 30-person team combined with others often orders.

Situation	Working	Total (before delivery)
40 staff + 10 executives	40 x ฿70 + 10 x ฿85 = ฿2,800 + ฿850	฿3,650
30 people on the basic set + 20 on the set with orange juice	30 x ฿42 + 20 x ฿85 = ฿1,260 + ฿1,700	฿2,960
Budget between two sets	25 x ฿70 + 25 x ฿85 = ฿1,750 + ฿2,125	฿3,875

The last row shows how to handle a budget that falls between two sets. Splitting evenly gives an average of ฿77.5 per box, which is not the price of either set, but the total matches the real price of each box. If you mix several premium pastries, each kind is limited to 20 pieces per order.

How many spare boxes should I order for 30 people?

With a minimum of 50 boxes, spare boxes hardly need thought, because you already have 20 extra. That covers room staff, a speaker's assistants, or guests who confirm on the morning of the event.

For example, 50 Recommend Set boxes cost 50 x 70 = ฿3,500, against ฿2,100 for the 30 you actually use. The difference of ฿1,400 pays for the leftover boxes, which can go to other teams or serve as an afternoon snack. The counting method is in how many snack boxes to order. If the team grows to 50, see the break for 50 people guide, and for 100 see the break for 100 people guide.

What do I need to prepare to hand out the boxes in the meeting room?

Thirty boxes fit on one long table or two small ones, and handing them out takes a few minutes if you have prepared the space. Have one or two people act as the receiver, sign for the delivery, and place the boxes at the right points. If you order 50, set aside a separate pile for the boxes going to other teams so they do not mix with the boxes for the room.

• Receiver: have them at the drop-off point 10 to 15 minutes before the agreed time, so the boxes do not wait.
• Table space: leave about an arm's length for every four or five boxes so they are easy to pick up.
• Waste: put a bin bag near the room door.
• Delivery time: if the meeting ends before the break, give the time you want the boxes to arrive, not the meeting start time.

Value Set and Best Seller Set include a drink in the box, which saves setting up a water table. Recommend Set has no drink, so check that the room has water ready, or ask the team about adding drinks per box.

How do I order snacks for a 30-person meeting?

1. Choose a set, or message the team to suggest one based on your budget.
2. Send box count, date and time, delivery address and event type on LINE, or through the quote form.
3. The team confirms the menu, the delivery fee by real distance and the total.
4. Pay 100% before delivery day, and the team prepares your order for the date.

Order at least 2 days ahead. To reduce the count, tell us 48 hours before, after which the original count stands. If you are inside 2 days, there are rush options: order before 10:00 for 17:00 the same day, or receive within 4 hours. Both use a limited menu and need a queue check first, as explained on the rush order page. Documents on request are a quotation, an invoice and a receipt.

What to know before ordering for a small event of 30

Run through this list before you press order.

• Minimum 50 boxes: decide how you will reach 50 and whether the extra boxes already have someone to take them.
• Headcount: confirm the number before the 48-hour deadline for reducing the count.
• Allergies: we do not guarantee that pastries are free of allergens. If someone has an allergy or avoids meat, tell the team when you order.
• Drop-off point: give the break time, who receives the boxes, and where the boxes will sit before the break, such as a table beside the meeting room.
• Delivery area: Bangkok and surrounding provinces, confirmed per address.

Summary

A 30-person event can order from BreakHub, but the order must total 50 boxes. The workable routes are 50 boxes covering two breaks, combining with another team, or giving the rest to colleagues the same day. Fifty boxes cost ฿2,100 to ฿4,250 before delivery. Order at least 2 days ahead and pay in full before delivery day.

Send headcount, date and venue through the quote form or press the LINE order button on a set page, and the team will help you work out how to reach the minimum.
