Quick answers for the night

How much food, how many bottles, what size turkey, how much ice — real answers in seconds, worked out with the same numbers our planner uses behind the scenes.

Why these numbers

Not a rule of thumb pulled from a hat

  • Portions and pours checked against published catering guidance, with every judgement call written down.
  • Appetite moves with the party: a buffet, a standing cocktail hour and a long afternoon BBQ each eat differently.
  • Turkey thaw and roast times straight from the USDA's own charts.
  • The same model runs the full planner — so the numbers carry over when you plan the whole party.
