📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

200 guests × 80% eating rate

At xlarge events, about 80% of guests will eat full servings. 160 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

160 eaters × 3 sliders per person

As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 480 base servings

Apply march madness party modifier

× 1.2 (+20% for sliders)

March Madness Partys typically consume 20% more sliders than average. 576 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

576 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 48 dozen (raw)

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
