The first step in preparing for a birthday party is knowing how many people will attend. This helps in planning the quantity of food and the size of the venue. Here’s what you need to do:

 

Headcount: Confirm the number of guests. This will help you in deciding the portions and quantities of food to prepare.

Dietary Needs: It's crucial to understand your guests' dietary preferences and restrictions. Are there vegetarians, vegans, or individuals with food allergies? Knowing this will help you plan a menu that everyone can enjoy.

2. Equipment Check

Ensure that your air fryer oven and other kitchen equipment are in good working condition. Here are the steps:

 

Air Fryer Oven Condition: Ensure that your air fryer oven is in good working condition. Clean it thoroughly and check that all functions are operational. Make sure you are familiar with its settings and capabilities.
