Estimate the service quantities

Change any field to update the plan. The buffer covers spare pieces, not extra guests, and the result should still be checked against the menu and pack contents.

No name, email, postcode or order information is collected by this tool.

Verified pack comparison

Christmas tree set: compare the 30-guest variant.

Golf birthday set: compare the 24-guest variant.

Planning boundary: the calculator does not check live stock, exact pack contents, food-contact evidence, packed weight, freight, duties or delivery dates. Confirm those before payment.

How the estimate works

  1. The service target is the guest count plus the selected buffer, rounded up.
  2. Meal service adds one dinner plate and one cutlery set per buffered guest.
  3. Dessert or snack service adds one smaller plate per buffered guest.
  4. Cups and napkins use the editable per-guest rates, then apply the same buffer.
  5. Pack suggestions show the smallest verified guest-count option that meets the service target; larger events need multiple packs or a reviewed quote.

Frequently asked questions

How many disposable plates should I plan per guest?

Use one dinner plate per guest for a meal and one dessert or snack plate per guest when that course is served, then add the selected service buffer. Adjust for the actual menu and service plan.

How many cups and napkins should I plan?

The calculator starts at 1.5 cups and two napkins per guest. Change either rate for drink stations, refills, children or the event format.

Does the calculator check stock or shipping?

No. It is a local quantity planner only. Stock, exact pack contents, packed weight, freight, duties and delivery timing must be checked separately.

Are guest counts sent to Daoyi Pack?

No. The calculation runs in the browser and the page does not submit the guest count or calculated quantities.

Can I use the estimate for a custom tableware request?

Yes, as a starting brief. Add the event date, destination, artwork, required sizes, materials, food-contact requirements and exact component list for review.
