📐 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 sliders per person

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

Apply labor day party modifier

× 1.3 (+30% for sliders)

Labor Day Partys typically consume 30% more sliders than average. 93 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

93 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 7.8 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

7.8 × 1.15 = 9.0, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 9 dozen
