Plan quantities with traceable sources

Enter your guest count and dishes, and EventCalc works out the quantities you need: portions per dish, a consolidated shopping list with pack counts and surplus, the equipment required, and a cost estimate. The finished plan exports as a PDF shopping list or an Excel file.

Every quantity is attributed: it either comes from a named source or is a declared EventCalc assumption. Where a price is missing it is marked as missing rather than counted as €0 — an incomplete estimate never appears as a final total. How that works in detail is described in the methodology.
