📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

100 guests × 85% eating rate

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

Calculate servings (as main dish)

85 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 255 base servings

Apply march madness party modifier

× 1.2 (+20% for sliders)

March Madness Partys typically consume 20% more sliders than average. 306 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

306 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 25.5 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

25.5 × 1.15 = 29.3, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 30 dozen
