📐 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 pizzas per person

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

Apply corporate event modifier

× 0.6 (-40% for pizza)

Corporate Events typically consume 40% less pizza than average. 122 pizzas needed

Convert to pizzas

122 pizzas ÷ 8 per pizza

Each pizza provides 8 pizzas. 15.3 pizzas (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

15.3 × 1.15 = 17.6, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 18 pizzas

💡 Pro Tips for Corporate Event Food

✓ Elegant finger foods that don't require utensils or create mess are ideal.
✓ Vegetarian and dietary options are essential - plan 30% of your spread as veg-friendly.
✓ Shorter events (2-3 hours) need less food - plan 4-5 appetizer pieces per person.
✓ Evening events consume 25% more food than lunch events.
✓ Avoid foods that stain (red sauces, turmeric) - people are in work clothes.

Buying Guide

Corporate events require elevated finger foods. Think caprese skewers, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, and elegant cheese boards. Avoid anything too casual or messy. Budget $8-15 per person for appetizers at a cocktail reception.
