📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

25 guests × 95% eating rate

At small events, about 95% of guests will eat full servings. 24 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

24 eaters × 3 pizzas per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 pizzas per person. 72 base servings

Apply corporate event modifier

× 0.6 (-40% for pizza)

Corporate Events typically consume 40% less pizza than average. 43 pizzas needed

Convert to pizzas

43 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza

Each pizza provides 8 pizzas. 5.4 pizzas (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

5.4 × 1.15 = 6.2, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 7 pizzas
