It takes guessing out of the equation and prevents them from putting the blame on you when something runs out. No one knows the people better than the customer themselves.
Clearly define your obligation and go from there. Then define the meat as 1/2, 1/3, or a 1/4 slab per person. You already know they are requesting 1/4 chicken per plate.
Thus a starting point.

I really like that idea, I wish I'd seen it sooner! Thanks for the advice.
