2. Joe’s Catering – Spreadsheet Practice
Joe runs a party catering business and wants to be able to give instant quotes over the
phone for supplying party drinks.
He asks the customer how many adult and child guests will be attending the function.
Using his experience of how much wine and soft drink are drunk, he can calculate
total volumes of drink required, and the corresponding numbers of bottles and total
costs. A sample quote looks like this:
