Ideas for a Party People Will Actually Remember.

1. Choose your date and location. Have your event address ready so our team can confirm service availability and travel.
2. Estimate your guest count. Include adults and children, and share any accessibility or seating needs.
3. Review your cooking and dining space. Plan a level cooking area, comfortable seating and a clear route for equipment.
4. Choose your menu. Review protein choices and share dietary requests before selections are finalized.
5. Confirm the details. Follow the instructions in your booking confirmation for your deposit, menu and final guest count.

Keep decorations and other activities around the dinner plan so everyone can enjoy the live cooking together.

Allstar brings the chef, hibachi cooking equipment, ingredients, live cooking and cleanup of the cooking area.

Prepare an approved cooking location, guest seating, dining tables and clear access for the chef and equipment. Tables and chairs are optional add-ons.

• Confirm the event address and access instructions.
• Clear the cooking area and equipment route.
• Arrange seating so guests can see the chef.
• Share dietary requests before the event.
• Confirm a weather plan for outdoor celebrations.

Start with the cooking position, then arrange your tables so guests can see the chef and enjoy the meal comfortably.

Tables are usually arranged in an I or U shape, with the hibachi grill in the center, so every guest can see the chef and enjoy the show. The final arrangement depends on your space and group.

Keep walkways clear and place decorations away from the cooking area. Send photos of your proposed space to our team if you need help choosing a layout.

The hibachi grill measures 68 inches by 28 inches. Plan approximately 8–10 feet by 8–10 feet of level space for the cooking area, plus additional room for guest tables, seating and walkways.

Larger events may need more than one cooking station. Share photos and measurements with our team so we can confirm the arrangement for your event.

Position tables around the approved cooking area with clear sightlines to the chef. An I or U arrangement can help bring guests together while leaving room for cooking and serving.

Avoid blocking doors, gates or walkways. Account for chair space and guests moving around the table, rather than measuring only the tabletop footprint.

If you need tables and chairs, request the optional service when booking.

Discuss a weather plan with our team before an outdoor event. Send photos of any alternative space so the cooking arrangement can be reviewed.

Do not assume a covered patio, tent, garage or indoor room is approved for cooking. Indoor setups require advance approval.

If the forecast changes, contact our team promptly and refer to the rescheduling terms provided with your reservation.

The number of chefs and grills depends on your guest count, menu, available space and how you want dinner to run.

Share whether guests will dine together or in separate groups, along with your preferred serving schedule. Our team can recommend the cooking setup for your celebration.

Review the current menu and ask guests for their protein selections before the deadline in your booking instructions.

Adults choose two proteins and children choose one. Share dietary requests, allergies and questions with our team before menu selections are finalized.

Check the menu for available upgrades and appetizers when planning your meal.

Begin with your estimated guest count and the layout of your event space. As the group grows, allow more time to coordinate seating, equipment access and meal service.

• For around 30 guests: confirm seating, cooking space and clear access.
• For around 50 guests: discuss the serving schedule and equipment arrangement early.
• For 100+ guests: coordinate the venue layout, chef team, grills and event schedule with Allstar.

These are planning considerations. Our team will confirm the staffing and setup for your specific event.

Choose a location with enough level space for cooking, guest seating and equipment access. Outdoor celebrations also need a weather plan.

Indoor cooking requires advance approval. Send our team photos and details of the proposed location before making your final arrangement.

If your event is at a venue or vacation rental, confirm the property's rules with the owner or venue manager.

Choose one evening when everyone can gather for dinner, then plan the rest of the day's activities around your confirmed event time.

• Ask the property owner about event and outside catering rules.
• Share the full address, gate codes and parking instructions.
• Confirm the cooking location and seating before the trip.
• Collect guest menu selections before the booking deadline.
• Discuss a weather plan for an outdoor dinner.

For a bachelor or bachelorette weekend, family reunion or lake house gathering, keeping dinner at the property gives everyone a shared moment in the schedule.
