📐 Why This Amount Works

Estimate actual eaters

100 guests × 85% eating rate

At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 85 eaters

Calculate servings (as main dish)

85 eaters × 10 pieces per person

As a main dish, plan for 10 pieces per person (~1.0 lb). 850 base servings

Apply corporate event modifier

× 0.5 (-50% for wings)

Corporate Events typically consume 50% less wings than average. 425 pieces needed

Convert to lbs

425 pieces ÷ 10 per lb

Each lb provides 10 pieces. 42.5 lbs (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

42.5 × 1.15 = 48.9, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 49 lbs

Buying Guide

Corporate events require elevated finger foods. Think caprese skewers, shrimp cocktail, bruschetta, and elegant cheese boards. Avoid anything too casual or messy. Budget $8-15 per person for appetizers at a cocktail reception.
