Professional Tips for Accurate Costing
- Iftar opens with dates, water and a light soup — never serve the main first.
- All meat must be halal-certified with documentation from the supplier.
- Plan 600–750g total food per person — Iftar is hearty after a full day of fasting.
- Schedule service precisely at Maghrib (sunset) — guests will not break early.
