Yes, the goal of the fee for the Ops Meetup was to help organizers plan
for catering and facility needs for attendees.

I moderated the feedback session at the European Ops Meetup where Tom
verified that this was the goal of the fee and that the fee was
successful in achieving that goal.

Here is the feedback etherpad for the European Ops Meetup, it seems that
point was not written down but it was verbally conveyed and I remember it.

Thank you,
Anita.
