Note: This assumes wings is your main food. If serving multiple foods, reduce this amount by 30-40%.

📐 Why This Amount Works

1
Estimate actual eaters
25 guests × 95% eating rate
At small events, about 95% of guests will eat full servings. 24 eaters
2
Calculate servings (as main dish)
24 eaters × 10 pieces per person
As a main dish, plan for 10 pieces per person (~1.0 lb). 240 base servings
3
Apply corporate event modifier
× 0.5 (-50% for wings)
Corporate Events typically consume 50% less wings than average. 119 pieces needed
4
Convert to lbs
119 pieces ÷ 10 per lb
Each lb provides 10 pieces. 11.9 lbs (raw)
5
Add 15% buffer & round up
11.9 × 1.15 = 13.7, rounded up
Always round up and add a buffer. Running out of food is worse than having leftovers! 14 lbs

💡 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.
