How many trays for your party

Every tray comes in two sizes: small serves 10–12 and large serves 20–22. Cover your headcount once per course (one main, one side, one salad), then add bread, an appetizer and dessert. Here's how that works out for common party sizes:

GuestsEach tray dish (main, side, salad)Bread
121 large tray1 dozen
251 large tray and 1 small tray3 dozen
301 large tray and 1 small tray3 dozen
502 large trays and 1 small tray5 dozen
754 large trays7 dozen
1005 large trays9 dozen

For a party that runs all afternoon, people graze more than they eat a meal, so the same order stretches further. For a dinner-time party with big eaters, round up one size. Our guide to how much food you need has more detail, and the helper below prices any headcount.

How many trays do I need?

Enter your headcount and pick a dish for each course. We size every course to feed everyone once, using the low end of each tray's range.
