1. What is the Beverage Calculator For Event?

The Beverage Calculator For Event helps estimate the total number of beverages needed for an event based on the number of guests, event duration, and average beverage consumption rate per hour.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the beverage calculation formula:

\[ Beverages = Guests \times Hours \times Beverages\ Per\ Hour \]

Where:

\( Guests \) — Number of attendees at the event
