📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

75 guests × 90% eating rate

At medium events, about 90% of guests will eat full servings. 68 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

68 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 204 base servings

Apply 4th of july party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for sliders)

4th of July Partys typically consume 30% more sliders than average. 263 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

263 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 21.9 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

21.9 × 1.15 = 25.2, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 26 dozen
