📐 Why This Amount Works

1
Estimate actual eaters
100 guests × 85% eating rate
At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 85 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
85 eaters × 3 sliders per person
As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 255 base servings
3
Apply 4th of july party modifier
× 1.3 (+30% for sliders)
4th of July Partys typically consume 30% more sliders than average. 332 sliders needed
4
Convert to dozen
332 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen
Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 27.7 dozen (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
27.7 × 1.15 = 31.9, rounded up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 32 dozen
