📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

150 guests × 85% eating rate

At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 128 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

128 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 384 base servings

Apply labor day party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for sliders)

Labor Day Partys typically consume 30% more sliders than average. 497 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

497 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 41.4 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

41.4 × 1.15 = 47.6, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 48 dozen
