Hi Matt, A quick way to come up with pricing is to multiply your costs by 3, this will give you a 33% food costs which is pretty standard.
So if you are paying $2/pound on a 75 lb hog your costs would be $150 and your sales price would be $450. If you wanted a different food cost, simply divide your total cost by that percentage. 30%= $150/.3 = $500 selling price. Hope that helps! |

AS A BUSINESSMAN -
I will put it gently - charge as much as you can. There is no way in heck I am paying $100 for a piggy, and serving it for $300. $600 or no thanks. This is in a higher priced D.C area, but still. Let them do it, they will call you next year. |
Thanks from:---> |
