Do You Really Need Extra Restrooms for Your Event? Here’s How to Determine the Right Amount

Mariah Mazerski on 08/21/2025

There are a lot of moving parts in event planning, but if you want to keep your attendees happy, the restrooms need to be more than an afterthought. Supplying clean, comfortable, and convenient restroom access isn’t just a clipboard obligation, but a key part of the overall event experience. When people spend more time in line for a bathroom than they do enjoying the music, the food, or the speeches, that unforgettable atmosphere you’ve worked so hard to create, well, let’s just say your five-star event quickly becomes a one-star review.

Restroom planning might not be the most exciting item on your checklist, but it plays a major role in how your event is remembered. Here’s how to get it right.

Why the Right Number of Restrooms Really Matters

Getting the restroom count wrong has consequences, no matter how you slice the cheese. Too few restrooms lead to long lines, unsanitary conditions, and frustrated guests. Too many, and you’re spending money and space you could’ve used elsewhere. Well-planned restroom logistics improve:

  • Guest comfort: When fun is the reason they’re there, your guests don’t want to sacrifice the time they could be spending dancing, eating, or socializing by standing in a restroom line.   
  • Hygiene and safety: More restrooms mean less crowding and cleaner conditions throughout the day.
  • Event flow: Sufficient restroom access helps maintain a steady pace and prevents guests from bottlenecking key areas.
  • Revenue impact: Research shows that when restrooms are lacking, attendees don’t stay as long, which can lead to decreased food, beverage, and merchandise sales.
  • Cost-efficiency: Ordering just the right number of restrooms keeps your budget balanced and avoids emergency add-ons.

Key Factors That Impact Your Restroom Needs

The general rule is one restroom per 50 guests for events up to four hours. But there are several variables that can influence how many restrooms your event really needs. Of course, guest count is the starting point, but it’s far from the whole picture.

The length of your event plays a major role. For example, guests attending a three-hour garden party will have very different needs from those at a 10-hour music festival. Serving food and alcohol? That’s a guaranteed bump in usage, especially with drinks in the mix. For events with heavier meals or open bars, expect to increase your restroom count by at least 20 percent.

You’ll also want to consider the type of event and the audience. Weddings often call for higher-end or private options like restroom trailers, while casual festivals might prioritize volume and coverage over fancy finishes. The physical location of your event matters, too—if it’s in a park, field, or anywhere without existing restrooms, you’ll need to build that infrastructure from the ground up. Even the gender mix of your crowd should be taken into account, since women typically require more restroom time. And don’t forget accessibility.  Handicap-accessible restrooms ensure everyone can comfortably attend and enjoy your event.

Enhancing Construction Site Efficiency with Quality Restroom Facilities

Mariah Mazerski on 07/23/2025

Ask any crew what slows down productivity on a construction site, and somewhere between late lumber deliveries and surprise rainstorms, you’ll hear: “no clean bathroom.” Because when nature calls and the only option is a hike to a gas station or an overflowing porta-potty, nobody’s thrilled, and your project definitely feels the slowdown.

That’s where Throne Depot comes in. We’re here to talk construction site restroom rentals and how getting them right can keep your workers happy, your project on schedule, and your site a little less… fragrant.

Your Go-To Restroom Setup (It’s Not Fancy, but It Works)

The workhorse of most job sites is the classic construction portable unit: toilet, urinal, and hand sanitizer. It’s simple, sturdy, and exactly what your crew needs. These may be basic, but they still come equipped with premium features like a heavy-duty door, occupancy indicator, translucent roof for better lighting, and superior ventilation, which is especially important for summer project sites.

Pink Units for the Win (And Yes, They’re Just for the Ladies)

Construction isn’t just for the guys and your restroom plan shouldn’t be either. Many job sites with female workers and visitors opt for dedicated pink units. These restrooms are designed without a urinal and are often kept locked so the fellas don’t “accidentally” use them. It’s a small detail that goes a long way in respecting every member of your team.

Break Time Gets an Upgrade

Sure, the standard units get the job done but some job sites call for a bit more polish. Whether you’re managing a long-term project with a larger crew, hosting on-site stakeholders, or simply want to provide your team with some added comfort, restroom trailers are a nice upgrade.

These high-end trailers come equipped with flushing toilets, running water, mirrors, climate control, and even Bluetooth sound systems (because who doesn’t want a little background music while they take five?). They’re a game-changer for command centers, supervisors, engineers, or anyone who spends long days on-site and appreciates not having to rough it every time nature calls. And let’s be honest everyone appreciates a flushable toilet after a full day of hauling, hammering, and hustling.

Specialty Units Built for Tough Jobs

Not every job site is created equal, and Throne Depot has the gear to prove it. Our specialty units, like the Crane Sling and Hitch & Go, are designed specifically for tough-to-access locations where standard units just won’t cut it.

The Crane Sling is ideal for high-rise and rooftop work. It can be safely lifted by crane and includes the same ventilation and comfort features as our ground-level units.

The Hitch & Go gives you full mobility. Just hook it up to your truck’s pintle hitch and take your Deluxe Portable Toilet with you as your crew moves. It’s a major win for road crews, bridge jobs, and mobile teams who need flexibility without sacrificing sanitation.

These rugged options are part of what sets Throne Depot apart from the competition. They’re built for challenging conditions and ready to roll when your site demands more than the basics.

Don’t Forget the Details: Little Things, Big Impact

It’s easy to treat portable restrooms as a “set it and forget it” kind of deal but that’s where job site trouble starts. Bad placement and poor planning don’t just lead to grunts and groans; they slow things down and can turn a productive crew into a cranky one.

First up: placement matters. Your restroom might be sparkling clean and stocked to the brim, but if it’s at the bottom of a gravel pile or on the other side of a freshly dug trench, guess what? No one’s using it. Our golden rule is simple: make sure the unit is within 35 feet of where the service truck can park with a clear, safe path. No mountains of rebar, no siding obstacle courses, and absolutely no open holes of doom.

Now let’s talk cleanliness. A fresh, serviced restroom is more than a courtesy; it’s a productivity tool. When units are full or filthy, workers disappear in search of alternatives (and not the time-efficient kind). If you’ve got more than 10 workers, that one lonely unit is going to fill up fast. Throne Depot drivers keep an eye on this, if we see you’re getting close to capacity before your next scheduled service, we’ll give you a heads-up. Need to bump service to twice a week? Add another unit? We’ve got you.

It’s Not Just the Potty — It’s the Promise

Let’s be real: a portable toilet is only as good as the people showing up to clean it. And while most rental companies focus on the unit, at Throne Depot, we know it’s 30% about the toilet and 70% about showing up for reliable, quality cleanings.

That’s why we’re proud to maintain a 99.6% weekly service completion rate. Rain, traffic, or surprise site changes—we get there. If you’re relying on a clean restroom to keep your crew comfortable and your project running smoothly, we won’t leave you hanging.

And in those rare cases where something goes sideways? That’s where SOCO comes in, Service Or Call Office. It’s our no-nonsense guarantee. If your unit can’t be serviced for ANY reason, our dedicated driver will remain on-site, ensuring seamless coordination with our office team who will promptly attempt to reach the designated site contact to address and resolve the issue efficiently. No ghosting. No excuses. No wondering what happened. Just the kind of service you’d expect from a company that wears the crown.
