Professional Portion & Sourcing Matrix

Enter your guest count — get your exact shopping list. Dual-unit portioning calculator with event-type multipliers and real-world purchase rounding.

How much cheese for 25 people? How many grams of berries for a grazing table that's replacing dinner? Guess wrong in one direction and your board looks sparse; guess wrong in the other and your profit walks out the door as leftovers.

The Portion & Sourcing Matrix removes the guesswork:

- Enter your guest count and select your event type — Standard appetizer (1x), Heavy (1.5x), or Meal replacement (2x)

- Add an optional buffer % for waste and spillover

- Get exact target weights for all nine ingredient categories — specialty cheeses, charcuterie, crackers, fruit, crudités, brined accompaniments, spreads, garnishes, and sweet contrast

- In both metric and imperial, side by side

- Plus a rounded shopping list ("buy at least X kg / X lb") built for how suppliers actually package products

- Enter your prices and it totals your full event ingredient cost — the exact number you need for quoting

Built on the same per-person portioning standards used by a working premium grazing business — lush boards, protected margins.
