Is 10 dozen of sliders enough for 75 people?

Should I order more sliders than calculated?

📐 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 sliders per person

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

Apply thanksgiving modifier

× 0.5 (-50% for sliders)

Thanksgivings typically consume 50% less sliders than average. 101 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

101 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 8.4 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

8.4 × 1.15 = 9.7, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 10 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!
