How many lbs of hamburger for 80 sloppy joes?

Cooking for an event. I’m assuming each one will be around 1/4lb of meat per sandwich but that’s just a guess.
There will be other food there so I don’t have to be precise, just trying to get close.

1/4 lb at most per sandwich, by the time you figure in sauce with the meat. I bet if you portioned it out each sandwich would get 2-3 ounces of meat.
Since there will be other food (and not everyone will eat sloppy joes) you could probably easily get by with at most 10 lbs and have leftovers

I'd probably do 20lbs, but I'm also the guy that overshoots pretty much every time I cook for a party 
At least you'll have plenty to freeze and/or share with other guests.

Mom prepared sloppy joe's many a Saturday for me and my 3 bros.

I’m figuring 1/3 pound per person.
1/4 pound may leave you a little short.

When the wife cooks sloppy Joe's for our family 4 she's uses 1 pound of ground meat and we normally all eat 2 sandwhiches on the small hamburger buns. You will have plenty leftovers with 20lbs.

Just an observation as to why specific info helps when asking…
The original question is “How many pounds for 80 sloppy joes?”
We are answering for 80 sandwiches, 80 people, and 80 people with other food.

The plan is to wrap each one individually in foil and store in a cooler so the bun gets nice and steamy. It’s for a bunch of kids so I imagine they will get wiped out quick.
I’m probably going to go with 20lbs of meat

Pre-made (portioned) and for kids... yeah, 1/4 pound per sandwich will definitely be enough.
