"Serves" is fine - what I was getting at is the word order. If your UI
looks like this:

Serves
2

the string is fine. If it looks like this:

Serves 2

the string needs to be "Serves %d", because some languages will put the
number first, or in between multiple words. Some languages might even
need plural forms here.
