## How to Calculate Buffet Amounts ### Formula For buffets, estimate about 280 g of main dishes and 200 g of sides per person total, then divide across the number of dishes. **Per Main Dish = (280 g / Number of Mains) x Guests** **Per Side Dish = (200 g / Number of Sides) x Guests** ### Buffet Tips - More dish variety means less of each individual dish - The first 2 dishes on a buffet line get taken most - Place vegetables and salads first
Exemple Résolu
Plan a buffet for 30 guests with 2 main dishes and 3 sides.
- 01Main per guest per dish: 280 / 2 = 140 g.
- 02Per main dish total: 30 x 140 = 4200 g = 4.2 kg.
- 03Side per guest per dish: 200 / 3 = 66.7 g.
- 04Per side dish total: 30 x 66.7 = 2000 g = 2 kg.
- 05Grand total: 30 x 480 g = 14,400 g = 14.4 kg.
Questions Fréquentes
Why do buffets need more food than plated meals?
Guests serve themselves and tend to take larger portions. Some guests return for seconds. Plan for 15-20% more food than a plated dinner.
Should all dishes be the same size?
No, make more of crowd-pleasers and less of specialized items. The main protein dish should be the largest quantity.
How do I arrange the buffet line?
Start with plates, then salads/vegetables, starches, proteins, sauces, and finally utensils/napkins. This encourages guests to fill up on less expensive items first.
