What it costs
What a fresh juice and smoothie bar costs, and what the rate already covers
This counter starts at about ₹150 per plate. What moves the number is the dish selection, the guest count and how long the counter stays open — a counter running for ninety minutes and one running all evening are not the same booking. The per-plate rate is not the food alone: it already carries the chefs at this counter, the stewards, the equipment and the clearance afterwards.
Included in the per-plate rate
- Chefs and counter cooks for every station
- Uniformed stewards and an on-site supervisor
- Chafing equipment, counter facades and crockery
- Venue recce and counter layout plan before the date
- Full clearance, waste removal and venue handover
Quoted separately
- GST on the invoice
- Travel and logistics beyond Pune-Pimpri-Chinchwad or Lonavala
- Premium proteins, imported cheese and out-of-season produce
- Generator or power backup where the venue cannot supply it
- Extra service hours beyond the agreed window
How many you need
How many counters your guest count actually needs
One live counter per 75 guests is the planning figure we quote across every event. For this one specifically: roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter.
Fruit is cut ahead but pressed to order, so throughput comes from a second press rather than from pouring earlier. Pre-poured juice is the one shortcut this counter cannot take.
| Guests | Live counters | Service staff | Setup time | Typical dishes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | 2 | 5-6 | 3 hrs | 12-14 |
| 250 | 3-4 | 10-12 | 4 hrs | 16-18 |
| 500 | 5-6 | 20-24 | 5 hrs | 18-22 |
| 1,000+ | 8+ | 40+ | 6 hrs | 22-30 |
Read the counters column as counters of every kind, not three of this one. At 250 guests a spread of three to four stations is normal, of which this counter is usually one — two only where it is carrying the meal rather than joining it.

Placement and timing
Where this counter stands, and when we open it
A morning counter. It opens with the function — haldi mornings, breakfast meetings, daytime pujas — and it is largely done by lunch, which is why it pairs with the chai counter rather than replacing it.
We set this counter up across Pune City, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Hadapsar-Kharadi, Lonavala to Khandala and Panchgani to Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse, lawn and resort venues where the power and the cover have to travel with us.

Questions about the fresh juice and smoothie bar

It starts at about ₹150 per plate and moves with the dish selection, guest count and how long the counter runs. That rate already carries the chefs, the stewards, the counter equipment and the clearance afterwards. Call +91 96731 98867 for a written quote the same day.
How many guests does one fresh juice and smoothie bar serve?
Roughly 75-100 guests per hour per counter. Fruit is cut ahead but pressed to order, so throughput comes from a second press rather than from pouring earlier. Pre-poured juice is the one shortcut this counter cannot take.
What does the fresh juice and smoothie bar need at the venue?
8 x 6 feet of floor space, 3 feet clear behind the chef. Power and fuel: two power points, and a waste bin behind the counter.
When during the event does the fresh juice and smoothie bar open?
A morning counter. It opens with the function — haldi mornings, breakfast meetings, daytime pujas — and it is largely done by lunch, which is why it pairs with the chai counter rather than replacing it.
Can we book the fresh juice and smoothie bar on its own?
Yes — counter-wise booking is standard with us. Add it to a buffet, combine it with two or three other counters, or run it alone at a smaller function.
Is there a vegetarian, Jain or vegan version of the fresh juice and smoothie bar?
The juices and the tender coconut are vegan as they stand. The buttermilk and the lassi are the dairy items on the counter, and both have a plant-milk version. Jain: no root vegetables in the green juice. The standard mix is spinach, cucumber, apple, mint and lime rather than the usual carrot and beetroot base. Nothing is sweetened unless the guest asks. Sugar-free is the default rather than an option here, which is what makes this the counter that suits elderly guests at a morning function.
Which areas do you set this counter up in?
All of Pune city, Pimpri-Chinchwad, the Hinjewadi-Wakad corridor, Hadapsar-Kharadi, the Lonavala-Khandala belt and Panchgani-Mahabaleshwar, including farmhouse and resort venues on the expressway and in the hills.
