Guessing how much food to make for a dinner party can be a headache. Either you prepare too little food and have hungry guests, or you make too much and end up wasting food. 40% of food in America never gets eaten, and that number only gets worse during the holiday season.

So The Guest-imator was created: a free online tool that uses a proprietary algorithm to help you figure out how much food to make for your guests. Just tell it who’s coming, and what’s for dinner, then it tells you how much to make. It even plans for leftovers.

It also incorporates a little-known food prep secret – the more dishes you prepare, the smaller each one needs to be. Because guests end up sampling multiple things and having less of each.

It’s the latest tool from SapientRazorfish, the Ad Council, and Natural Resources Defense Council’s campaign to stop food waste, and Save The Food.
