📐 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 corporate event modifier

× 0.9 (-10% for sliders)

Corporate Events typically consume 10% less sliders than average. 432 sliders needed

Convert to dozen

432 sliders ÷ 12 per dozen

Each dozen provides 12 sliders. 36 dozen (raw)

Add 15% buffer & round up

36 × 1.15 = 41.4, rounded up

Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 42 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.
