How Much
I'm vending a BBQ comp next week, they are expecting 8000 people. And there are 6 BBQ venders. I'm cooking pulled pork, BBQ nachos, brisket, and chicken legs. Im planning on cooking 3 cases of pork, 3 cases of ribs, 1 case of brisket, and about 200 legs. I can't make up my mind about sides though. How well do sides sell? Also do I sell bottle cokes or cans? And last but not least how much money do I take to make change? Thanks

I was wrong on the numbers. They had 10000 people come through the gate last year. Expecting 11000 this year.

How many of the 11,000 do you expect to feed? Are you planning on having anything left. Do you have an outlet for the leftovers? I would sell cans. The cool faster and are easier to transport.

I do a festival that has around 7500 people at it for the day. I go through about 30 butts, 2 briskets, 50-100 wings. Brisket is not big in my area, I'll go through 15 butts to 1 brisket and most don't even know what it is.

How much change do you take? ($1, $5, $10, $20 etc)

Thanks Bryan. There is not a branch near by. It a two day event. Fri 5-10 and Sat 10-10. i was thinking about 400. 10 - $10, 20- $5, and the rest in $1's. but $500 may be better. I just do not want to run out of $1's and $5's.

I would skip the 10's and get more 5's. You may want to take extra, if there is no place to get more change. You will find that later in the night you will need less smaller bill. It is early in the event when people have the larger bills. Once those get broke they use the smaller bills.
What prices are you charging? Not for specific item just the prices. |

I always have a sign near register, that we could use single bills, people then will have correct change ready or put the 2 singles with a 20 for a 12 dollar, then 10 bucks change
I get 6 to 7 for pp sandwich, 7 or 8 for brisket...12 for 1/2 22 for full rack |
