▢ Source Food & Drink

• Search for a local BBQ shop through Google or Yelp - or ask your residents where they get their favorite BBQ through a poll on Cobu! 

• Alternatively, a site like ezCater can be used to order and schedule a food delivery during your preferred time window. 

• Order a variety of types meats for all taste preferences and be sure to include a selection of vegetarian options in your order. 

• Order drinks through a delivery service like Uber Eats or source them through the local beverage store. Estimate 2 alcoholic drinks per attendee and ensure you have non-alcoholic options available too. 

▢ Set Up the Event

• Set up a long rectangular food table in your common area of choice. Drape the table in a tablecloth, if available. 

• Set up plates, utensils, and napkins on one end of the table so residents can get their supplies before filling their plates.  

• Set up a table exclusively for drinks. Offer a simple variety of drinks (soft drinks, water, beer, and wine) in icy tubs. 

• Ensure you have multiple trash and recycling receptacles available throughout the common space. 

• Set up a bluetooth speaker to play an existing BBQ Playlist or have residents contribute to a shared playlist on a service like Spotify. 

• Optional: Set up a separate extra spicy hot sauce station and encourage residents to test their taste buds on a variety of spice levels!
