The Group Picnic Planner
Count a group once, then turn it into a per-dish list for your hours, drinks by the hour, the blankets you already own, one trip from the car and a fair split of the cost
PicnicPlan's calculators each answer one question, and they count the same group three ways. The Food Per Guest Calculator weighs a child at half an adult and adds a quarter to the food past three hours; the Portion Planner weighs a child at 0.6 and has no clock; and the drinks come out as servings by the hour, a flat two cans an adult, or one bottle of water a head. None of them says what the group weighs to carry, how many of your own blankets it takes, or what each household owes. The Group Picnic Planner counts the group once and runs it through all of them. In its worked example, 8 adults and 4 children staying 4 hours need 20 sandwiches rather than 16, and 40 drink servings rather than 21: 3.75 gallons, about 31 lb, two-thirds of a 46.7 lb load that two people carry from the car. Two 60 x 80 in blankets cover the 56 sq ft the group needs on the ground, so nobody buys a 6.5 x 9 ft one, and a $110.20 shop splits by household to the cent. Every figure is computed from the site's own calculators, and the worked numbers are examples tagged as such. It is picnic arithmetic only: it gives no cooling, ice, temperatures or holding times, and sends you to a food-safety authority for how long food can stay out. Included: 7 steps with a named rule each, a headcount and shopping sheet, a carry and seat plan, a cost split sheet, a group card for 2 to 30 guests and a quickstart, plus a personalised sheet worked on the numbers you entered in the calculator.
