Luncheon

Deli/sandwich shop catering is the simplest option
Easiest distribution method is to serve it buffet style off of the restaurants serving trays.
Allow at least half an hour between the arrival of the food and the start of serving to make sure everything is in order
Have plenty of trashcans available to handle to trash from lunch
Good local food will make everyone more impressed by the conference
Make sure you have an ice-chest available if the drinks have any ice

Large coffee urn (~$100) is a big plus in the morning
Available bottled water throughout the rest of the day should be the next highest priority
- Definitely have it available for speakers/staff
- If money is available, available for everyone.
Snacks and sodas are a nice touch to have available during breaks. However, make this decision based on available money. Coffee and water are much more important and should be considered a necessity

If you do not plan on providing a meal, make sure there is plenty of time available
- Include walking time in each direction
- Half an hour for eating and making arrangements
Provide suggestions on good places to eat within walking distance
Have some local students available to lead groups to eat
