📐 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 wedding modifier

× 1 (0% for sliders)

Weddings have standard sliders consumption. 203 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

203 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 16.9 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

16.9 × 1.15 = 19.4, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 20 dozen

Buying Guide

For wedding receptions, appetizers during cocktail hour are essential. Plan 6-8 pieces per guest for a 1-hour cocktail hour. If you're doing late-night snacks (pizza, sliders, tacos), plan for 70% of guests still present to eat again around 10-11pm.
