What and how much to order: quick portion guide for 100

(Reference for a buffet with 1 main + 2 sides + salad + dessert + beverages. Adjust for event length and guest profile.)

Note: Vegan units are counted one-for-one and replace a standard buffet portion for each vegan guest.

Mains (proteins)

• 6 oz cooked per person → 600 oz = 37.5 lb.
• Prefer generous portions (8 oz)? → 800 oz = 50 lb.
• If adding vegan units, subtract one standard portion per vegan unit (e.g., 15 vegan units ⇒ plan 85 standard portions).

Sides

• 2 sides × 4 oz per person → 800 oz total = 50 lb.
• Even with more vegan units, keep side counts; everyone eats them.

Salad

• 3 oz per person → 300 oz = 18.75 lb.

Bread/starches

• 1.5 pieces per person → 150 pieces (rolls/tortillas/bread).

Dessert

• 1.25–1.5 pieces per person → 125–150 pieces.

Beverages & ice

• Water: 1 bottle (16–20 oz) per person.
• Sodas: 1 can (12 oz) per person (if applicable).
• Ice: 1–1.5 lb per person.
