I would aim for the $19-$20 range... The sides are where I find I make money, the profit margin on the meat is lower.

Pricing
Demographics isn't neccesarily dictating catering prices these days, I'm also in CT and from what I'm seeing everyone is looking for a deal this season!
I just declined a job offer for a doctor, they wanted to feed 80 guests 3 meats, 3 sides & rolls for $1500.00. The kicker was they also needed to rent tables, chairs & linens for the event, cost on that was $530.00, left ya with less than a grand for food, help, travel & business expenses.......NOT As a caterer I cant play the guessing game anymore, I ask up front for a budget range so I know where the client needs to be. Most folks are shopping but I garuntee they are not asking for apples to apples bidding! |

We are getting the same thing. We restructured or price list this season with the anticipation of buget minded clients. So far we are getting most of the events we bid.
