Default Help with numbers... ticketed festivals...

Hello!

We are vending at a couple local festivals soon. One is a cider/mead fest and the other a beer fest. They are ticketed events so we will basically know how many people will be there unless weather is an issue. I am trying to decide how many to expect to serve. I know it is a guess.

One is going to be approx 1500 attendees with two other food trucks (not bbq) from 2-6pm. The other approx 4000 with 4 trucks (me included and no other bbq) from 12pm-5pm.

I have seen folks recommend going with 10% of the attendees. I have also seen people say a good way to estimate is attendance divided by 2 and then divide by number of vendors.... Any other advice or better ways to calculate?

I was thinking prep for about 150-200 at the first and 300-350 for the bigger one.

Thanks in advance.
