Is 7 dozen of sliders enough for 25 people?

Yes, 7 dozen is the recommended amount for 25 guests at a new year's eve party. This includes a 15% buffer (1 extra dozen) so you won't run short.

Should I order more sliders than calculated?

Our calculation of 7 dozen already includes a 15% buffer. However, if your guests are big eaters or sliders is the only food, consider adding 10-20% more. It's always better to have leftovers!

What if I'm serving sliders with other foods?

If serving sliders as part of a buffet spread with other options, reduce this amount by 30-40%. Instead of 7 dozen, you'd need approximately 5 dozen.

📐 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 new year's eve party modifier

× 1 (0% for sliders)

New Year's Eve Partys have standard sliders consumption. 71 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

71 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 5.9 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

5.9 × 1.15 = 6.8, rounded up

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