## How to Estimate Catering Quantities

### Per Person Guidelines

- **Protein (cooked)**: 5-7 oz for adults (buy raw weight x 1.3 to account for shrinkage)
- **Side dishes**: 3-5 oz per side per person
- **Salad**: 1.5-2 oz of mixed greens per person
- **Bread**: 1-2 pieces per person

### Formula

**Total Protein (raw lbs) = Guests x Cooked oz x 1.3 / 16**

**Total Sides (lbs) = Guests x Sides x oz per Side / 16**

### Buffet vs. Plated

Buffets typically need 15-20% more food than plated service because guests serve themselves and portions are less controlled.

计算示例

50 guests, 6 oz protein, 3 sides at 4 oz each, with salad.

  1. Protein (raw) = 50 x 6 x 1.3 / 16 = 24.4 lbs
  2. Sides = 50 x 3 x 4 / 16 = 37.5 lbs total
  3. Salad = 50 x 2 / 16 = 6.25 lbs
  4. Per person = 6 + 12 + 2 = 20 oz of food
  5. Grand total = 50 x (7.8 + 12 + 2) / 16 = 68 lbs
