This may sound oversimplified but calculate up your total costs (food, consumables, etc) and multiply by 3.
The most difficult part is deciding how much of each item to cook/prepare. We work these types of events off of a signed contract that details out portion size, number of portions, price of each, etc. This eliminates the guess work on your part and requires the customer to make the decision as to quantity.
