Calculadora de Coxinha/Salgado (porcoes)

The Coxinha/Salgado (Portions) Calculator helps estimate the ideal quantity of savory snacks for your party or event. Simply enter the number of guests and the type of event (e.g., children's party, cocktail, casual gathering) to calculate the total units needed. The tool uses an average consumption per person, which varies according to the event profile: longer events or those with fewer meals tend to require more snacks per guest.

The calculation is straightforward: we multiply the number of guests by an estimated units per person. For example, at a 2-hour cocktail party, the average is 8 to 12 snacks per person; at children's parties, consumption may be lower, around 6 to 8 units. The calculator automatically adjusts these values based on the selected option, providing a recommended range (minimum and maximum) so you can plan with a buffer.

Use this calculator when organizing birthdays, get-togethers, corporate events, or any gathering where savory snacks are the main appetizer. It is especially useful to avoid waste or shortages, ensuring all guests are satisfied. Remember to consider the event time: if it is close to lunch or dinner, snack consumption tends to be lower.

Important cautions: the calculation is an estimate and may vary depending on guests' appetites, the presence of children versus adults, and the availability of other foods. For events with a full buffet, reduce the amount of snacks. If possible, prepare a little extra (about 10% to 20%) for unexpected situations. This tool does not replace detailed planning but serves as a practical guide.
