Five lines of arithmetic
Change any assumption you disagree with; the answer follows.
| Estimate actual eaters | 75 guests × 90% eating rate | 68 eaters |
| Calculate servings (as main dish) | 68 eaters × 3 tacos per person | 204 base servings |
| Apply March Madness party modifier | × 1 (0% for tacos) | 203 tacos needed |
| Convert to dozen | 203 tacos ÷ 12 per dozen | 16.9 dozen (raw) |
| Add 15% buffer & round up | 16.9 × 1.15 = 19.4, rounded up | 20 dozen |
Every constant behind this figure is published, including the eating rate by guest count and the 15 percent buffer; read the methodology.

Food at a March Madness party
- Tournament games can run 2+ hours each - plan for sustained snacking, not a single meal.
- Bracket pools mean people arrive at different times - keep food stations refreshed.
- Wings and pizza are the classic combo - plan for both.
- Overtime games run long and hungry, so keep backup food ready to go.
- Multiple TV setups mean multiple food stations - don't make people miss the game.
