Catering & Party API
Catering and party-planning maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the how-much-do-I-buy numbers a host or caterer plans a headcount with. The food endpoint scales a menu to the guest count and appetite: the main protein at about half a pound of cooked meat per person (light 0.33, hearty 0.75), each side dish at roughly four ounces a head, six appetizer pieces each and one-and-a-half dinner rolls — so 50 guests at a standard dinner with three sides need 25 lb of meat, 300 appetizers and 75 rolls. The drinks endpoint sizes the bar: about one drink per guest per hour plus an extra in the first hour, split across beer, wine and cocktails, and converted into the real units you buy — beer by the case (24) and the half-keg (~165 servings), wine by the bottle (~5 glasses), spirits by the 750 ml bottle (~16 shots) — plus the ice (about 1.5 lb per guest) and water; a 50-guest, four-hour party comes to 250 drinks, 125 beers (0.76 of a keg), 15 bottles of wine and 75 lb of ice. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for event-planning, catering, hospitality and party app developers, shopping-list and headcount tools, and host calculators. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. US units; rules of thumb — round up. Live, nothing stored. 2 compute endpoints. Adjust for the crowd and the season.
