How many scoops do you use for sample trays?

• A. 12
• B. 18
• C. 24
• D. 30

Answer: (C)

Portion control and efficient tray setup for samples are being tested. You want each sample to be a consistent bite and the tray to support quick, smooth service. Using 24 scoops on a sample tray gives enough pieces to represent several flavors at once while keeping the tray manageable and easy to refill without crowding or waste. With 24, you can lay out the tray as six portions of four flavors or eight portions of three flavors, giving customers multiple tastings without frequent refills. The other counts tend to be less practical: too few pieces limit flavor sampling, while too many can crowd the tray and slow service. This number strikes a balance that fits typical NBC practice for sample presentation.
