How Many Portable Restrooms Do You Need for an Outdoor Event?

One of the most common questions we get at Brower Inc. is "How many portable restrooms do I need?" The answer depends on several factors including guest count, event duration, and whether food and beverages are served.
Quick Reference Guide
| Guests | 4-Hour Event | 8-Hour Event |
|---|---|---|
| 50 | 1-2 | 2-3 |
| 100 | 2-3 | 4-5 |
| 200 | 4-5 | 7-8 |
| 500 | 10-12 | 15-18 |
Factors That Increase Needs
- Alcohol being served (increase by 20-30%)
- Events longer than 4 hours
- Limited or no permanent restroom access nearby
- High proportion of female guests
- Hot weather (increased hydration = more restroom use)
