For those that cook onsite

[Wicked Smoke BBQ]

What do you typically charge if the customer wants you to cook onsite?

Here is HBMTN's response in a similar thread:

"I do also charge labor fees for on site catering which usually start around $450.00 on top of the food pricing."

Those labor fees do not include on site cooking, they are for all the work involved in catering onsite that would not take place with a drop off. I don't cook on site ever. I will (for a fee) show up early with the smoker on site to give the appearance that we are cooking on site when we are actually finishing the cooking process on site. I charge $150 for smoker onsite. I explain to the client that barbecue cooks for 8-14 hours and they probably don't want to hear me banging around at 4am. Most understand and if they want us to show up a little early with the smoker it gives them what they are looking for.
