Calculate food by the whole menu
Feastimator does not size every dish as if it were the only food being served. Appetizers, mains, rice, bread, desserts, beverages, and menu variety all affect expected consumption.
Use portion preference responsibly
Choose conservative, standard, or generous portions based on the event. A dinner with several mains needs different assumptions than a simple meal with one main dish.
Move from quantity to containers
After estimating required food, Feastimator helps choose practical serving containers and tray options instead of treating container size as the food requirement.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate food per person?
Start with guest count, adults, kids, meal type, menu categories, and portion preference. Feastimator uses those details together rather than applying one flat amount to every dish.
How do kids affect food quantities?
Children usually change expected consumption, so Feastimator separates adults and kids instead of treating every guest identically.
