# Plan crew meal times and food needs for your event

Production and catering managers feeding crew, volunteers and suppliers at an event need the kitchen to cook the right number of meals, with the vegan and allergy portions counted, at the times people are actually on shift. Meal times built from your rota, and food needs your crew give once, turn that into numbers the kitchen can cook to.

Set when your event's crew catering serves each day, with meal times suggested from the shifts, and see how many people are on shift at each meal and what food needs they have. Crew give their food needs once, and the kitchen follows the day's counts on its own link, with no names on it.

For:  Telling your crew kitchen what to cook and when

- [Open Meal times](#step-1)
- [Get meal times from the shifts](#step-2)
- [Add the meals you serve](#step-3)
- [Add a meal time of your own](#step-4)
- [Food needs on each meal](#step-5)
- [Share the kitchen count with the kitchen](#step-6)

## Før du starter

- You are an owner, admin or producer on the event. The event's **Operations** page opens for those roles only.
- Your shifts are on the rota, so the meal times can count who is working at each one.

1. ## Open Meal times

   Open the event, select **Operations**, select **Meals**, then select **Meal times**.

   **Merk:** Each day lists its meal times with the people on shift, their food needs and how many have not given them yet. If Meals is not in the list, select **More sections** and open it there.
          ![Ticket Fairy meal times for a festival day, with a crew lunch suggested from the shifts and a late meal, the people on shift and their food needs](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-crew-meals--meal-times.png)    Meal times with the people on shift at each one.
2. ## Get meal times from the shifts

   Select **Suggest times from the shifts**.

   **Merk:** Breakfast, lunch, dinner and a late meal are suggested on each day where people are on shift at that time. A day that already has a meal of that name gets no second one.
          ![Ticket Fairy meal times suggested from the shifts for a festival's second day, with the people on shift at breakfast, lunch, dinner and the late meal](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-crew-meals--suggested-times.png)    Meal times suggested from the shifts.
3. ## Add the meals you serve

   Untick any meal you don't serve, then select the add button, which counts the meal times.

   **Merk:** Nothing is saved until you add them. Each one then shows **Suggested from the shifts**.
4. ## Add a meal time of your own

   Optional: Select **Add a meal time**, choose the **Day**, enter the **Meal**, **Starts** and **Ends**, then select **Add**.

   **Merk:** An end earlier than the start runs past midnight. A day can have up to 8 meal times.
          ![Ticket Fairy Add a meal time dialog with the day, the meal, the common meals, the start and end times and where it is served](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-crew-meals--add-a-meal-time.png)    Add a meal time.

## Food needs on each meal

Each meal time counts everyone whose shift overlaps it by at least 30 minutes, and their food needs, such as vegetarian or nut allergy. Crew and volunteers give their food needs on their My shifts page, a volunteer's application answer counts until they do, and the hand-out and meal desks can record them at the counter. The line that counts who has not given food needs tells you who to ask.

5. ## Share the kitchen count with the kitchen

   Select **Share a kitchen count link**, then make the link in Desks.

   **Merk:** The kitchen opens it without signing in on any screen or tablet. It shows the day's meals expected, served and still to serve, the food needs and the meal times, with no names.

## Spørsmål du kanskje har

Does a meal time change how many meals a person can have?:  No. Each person's meals for the day still come from their pass type's meals per day and their shifts. Meal times tell the kitchen when to serve and how many people to expect.

Why does a meal time count fewer people than are on site?:  It counts only the people whose shift overlaps it by at least 30 minutes. Someone whose shift ends at 12:15 is not counted for a lunch from 12:00.

Can the kitchen count link give meals?:  No. It shows counts only. Staff give meals from the meal desk or a meal service point link.

Where do performers' food needs come from?:  From the hospitality answers on each act's advance. The kitchen report on **Kitchen and reports** lists them by act.
