What it costs

What a Korean BBQ counter costs, and what the rate already covers

This counter starts at about ₹650 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.

Tabletop grills scale by adding grills, not chefs — each one is its own small service point. The fryer is the part that queues, so a large crowd gets a second fryer before it gets a second counter.

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.

Dietary

Vegetarian, Jain and vegan at the Korean BBQ counter

The answers below are specific to this counter — the equipment it shares, the ingredient that is usually missed, and what actually changes on the card.

Mushroom bulgogi runs on its own grill plate with its own tongs. A vegetarian skewer cooked on the plate that just held beef is not vegetarian, and a shared plate is the usual failure at a BBQ counter.
Jain is the harder ask here and worth stating plainly: standard kimchi is fermented with garlic and very often with fish sauce or salted shrimp. For Jain guests we prepare a separate no-onion-no-garlic pickle and a soy-and-pear marinade in place of the bulgogi base.
Vegan: the fried chicken glazes carry honey, so the vegetable version uses a soy-gochujang glaze, and the kimchi is made without fish sauce or shrimp.

Placement and timing

Where this counter stands, and when we open it

Opens early and stays open. Guests graze at the grills rather than queueing once, so this counter works as the evening's spine instead of one course in it.

Grill smoke is the whole constraint. Indoors it needs mechanical extraction; without it the counter goes to a terrace or an open side of the venue. Most banquet halls will refuse an open grill under a sprinkler head, and they are right to.
Open flame at table height means clear space around every grill — no drapes, no low florals and no service route that walks a steward past a hot plate with a tray.
The kimchi and the gochujang base are fermented ahead of the date rather than made on the day, so this is not a counter to add at the last minute.

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.
