📐 Why This Amount Works
1
Estimate actual eaters
150 guests × 85% eating rate At large events, about 85% of guests will eat full servings. 128 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
128 eaters × 3 sliders per person As a main dish, plan for 3 sliders per person. 384 base servings
3
Apply corporate event modifier
× 0.9 (-10% for sliders) Corporate Events typically consume 10% less sliders than average. 344 sliders needed
4
Convert to dozen
344 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 28.7 dozen (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
28.7 × 1.15 = 33.0, rounded up Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 33 dozen

💡 Pro Tips for Corporate Event Food
- ✓ Elegant finger foods that don't require utensils or create mess are ideal.
- ✓ Vegetarian and dietary options are essential - plan 30% of your spread as veg-friendly.
- ✓ Shorter events (2-3 hours) need less food - plan 4-5 appetizer pieces per person.
- ✓ Evening events consume 25% more food than lunch events.
- ✓ Avoid foods that stain (red sauces, turmeric) - people are in work clothes.
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.
