I have only participated in one event and I didn't know if I priced my food right. I suspected my prices were too low because we were slammed all day. I never had a chance to leave my cook site and see what everyone else was charging because we had this long line all day! I don't want to make any enemies and I'm sure undercutting prices will do just that. We sold over $3000.00 worth of food and made just a few dollars over what we spent after their 80/20 cut. We did our price schedule something like this:
Single: 1 meat and 2 sides (your choice of meat) $6.00
Double: 2 meats and 2 sides $7.00
Triple: 3 meats and 2 sides $10.00
Grand Slam: all four meats and 2 sides $12.00
Sides were: cole slaw, potato salad, and baked beans
a meat serving was a pork sandwich, two pieces of dark meat chicken, two or three ribs (depending on size) and about 5 slices of brisket
What do you charge? What's fair? Is it really worth it?
