📐 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 thanksgiving modifier

× 0.5 (-50% for sliders)

Thanksgivings typically consume 50% less sliders than average. 240 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

240 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 20 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

20 × 1.15 = 23.0, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 23 dozen

✓ Dessert is non-negotiable - 1 pie per 6-8 guests.
✓ Leftovers are part of Thanksgiving - plan for turkey sandwiches.

Buying Guide

Thanksgiving is about the traditional spread: turkey (1-1.5 lbs per person), stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, and pie. Light appetizers before dinner only. Plan for leftovers!
