Cociana: The Arithmetic of a Private Dinner

Field notes

Cociana frames private catering as a coordination system involving food, labor, rentals, logistics, rooms, and timing. Its planners convert guest counts and service choices into operational documents such as shopping lists, staffing plans, dietary matrices, seating layouts, and backwards service schedules. The visible example prices a four-course dinner for twelve at €2,316, while the guide compares twelve markets and ten dinner formats.
