What to do with the number
Appetizer demand depends on event timing and whether a full meal follows. Use a larger per-person count when appetizers are the primary food rather than a pre-meal course.
Planning estimate
Use this result as a starting point, not a guarantee. Product specifications, site conditions, manufacturer guidance, local codes, taxes, labor, tolerances, and rounding can change the real requirement or cost.
