A buddy of mine runs a snackbar (ya, i know, weve heard this one before)...
I have been making him pulled pork for the last 6 months. I just made him a 3rd batch. I have been charging him $25 per butt. usually 6 butts, so $150 total.
this includes me buying them from RD, buying the injection, rubs, wood ect. Then smoking them for roughly 8 hours and pulling them and delivering it to the snackbar.
However after this last time the butts were pretty big and cost more than usual. the 6 butts were around 62 pounds total. thats a bit over 10 lbs per butt. So at 1.35 per lb, my meat was already hovering $85. tack on 6 at the supermarket, rubs and fuel, i probably make about 40-45 bucks for the batch (which is not worth it).
So this time i told him there were 7 butts bc they were so heavy and charged the extra $25. So at least i made roughly $70.
If someone wanted to buy in bulk like this, how much do you charge? Per pound? Per butt? And if by pound, do you do it precook weight, or after cook weight? How much per lb precook?
Thanks guys.
