📐 Why This Amount Works

1
Estimate actual eaters
200 guests × 80% eating rate
At xlarge events, about 80% of guests will eat full servings. 160 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
160 eaters × 3 sliders per person
As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 480 base servings
3
Apply super bowl party modifier
× 1.2 (+20% for sliders)
Super Bowl Partys typically consume 20% more sliders than average. 576 sliders needed
4
Convert to dozen
576 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen
Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 48 dozen (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
48 × 1.15 = 55.2, rounded up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 56 dozen

💡 Pro Tips for Super Bowl Party Food

  • 40% of all food is consumed during the first quarter - front-load your spread.
  • Wings are the #1 Super Bowl food - err on the side of too many.
  • Set up a separate kids station if families are coming - they eat differently.
  • Prep dips in slow cookers - they stay warm and free up oven space.
  • Use halftime to refresh ALL food stations - you have exactly 25 minutes.

Buying Guide

Super Bowl is the biggest food day of the year after Thanksgiving. Plan 10-12 wings per person, 3 slices of pizza, and plenty of chips and dip. Make everything shareable and easy to eat without utensils. Cold foods should stay cold, hot foods in warming trays or slow cookers.
