Catering Cost Calculator for India
Scale any recipe from 4 servings to 100, 250, or 1000 guests тАФ with exact ingredient amounts and cost per plate.
Scale Factor by Guest Count
| Guests | Scale Factor (from 4) | Rice (from 2 cups) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 guests | 2.5├Ч | 5 cups (925g) |
| 25 guests | 6.25├Ч | 12.5 cups (2.3kg) |
| 50 guests | 12.5├Ч | 25 cups (4.6kg) |
| 100 guests | 25├Ч | 50 cups (9.3kg) |
| 250 guests | 62.5├Ч | 125 cups (23kg) |
Based on 1 cup basmati rice = 185g. The tool scales up to 1000 servings.
Why Scaling with Volume is Risky
Spices and salt scale linearly, but cooking liquids and fat may need a slightly lower factor for very large batches. The tool gives exact linear amounts; for 100+ guests, test a 10-guest pilot batch first.
Scale to Any Guest Count
Use the slider up to 1000 servings and get every ingredient in grams, cups, tbsp тАФ plus the total ingredient cost.
