Party planning

How many porta potties do you need?

Start with guests and hours. Then adjust for drinks and food.

Rule of thumb

About 1 unit per 50 guests

That is for a 4-hour party. A 100-guest, 4-hour party needs 2 units.

Longer parties

150 guests, 6 hours = 4 units

Longer events need more units because lines build over time.

Serving alcohol?

Add 1 unit for every 4

Chart says 4? Make it 5. Chart says 5? Make it 7.

Serving food?

Add a handwashing station

Plan 1 station per 4 toilets, and 1 at every food line.
