Minimum guest charge?
What do you guys charge for parties less than yor minimum?
We have a party for 30, normal price isin't worthwhile. |

Normally, I have a couple 5lb pans of pork or brisket in the freezer left over from other jobs or comps. I sell them meat by the pound and let them take care of the rest.

Welp, I have had parties of 30 order things that are twice as much as a party for 75.
It really depends on what they want to spend. If they do not want to spend the loot charge them by the lb. Sometimes you you get a couple of different gigs under the belt for experience versus money; the payday comes later! YMMV
