Catering Power Planner

Build your powered-equipment list, estimate the combined electrical load with practical planning wattages, and plan how equipment can be distributed across available circuits. When the venue's power is still unknown, it turns your package into a short list of questions to confirm before event day.

Venue power check

You know what you’re bringing. Here’s what to confirm before event day.

  • How many dedicated 20A circuits are available in the catering or service area?
  • Which outlets belong to each circuit?
  • Are any of those circuits shared with venue equipment or other vendors?
  • Are there restrictions on powered catering equipment?
  • Where is the breaker panel?
  • Who can help if a breaker trips during setup or service?
  • Is additional temporary power available if needed?

Your power plan

Planning estimates only. Verify the power requirements of your actual equipment and confirm available circuits and electrical capacity with the venue or a qualified professional before use.
