What's up folks, got a call about personal chef services. This gentlemen called me and said while surfing the web he came across my web site, and was doing a fundraiser auction bbq. This has gone on for the past 39 yrs. He stated that he wanted to hire me as a personal chef to cook 200 rib eye steaks and thats all I would be doing. I do have the capacity to do this type of job and was wondering what I should charge for this? keep in mind All the steaks are donated from a meat co.I would only be using my grills, mesquite wood and driving time to san bernadino.
Here is the kicker to the story they are holding an auction befor everyone eats. And he stated to me that he wanted the fire started 10 min befor the event was to conclude, because he did not want the smell of the bbq to distract people from the live auction. His thinking is if people see the food cooking ahead of time they will get in line for food early, and not be at the auction. I stated to him that I needed to start much earlier in order to service that many guests. (should this weigh into the price?) The event is not until June and I explained to him I was going on a cruise for a week to puerto vallarta and we would discuss price when I got back in town. This of course gives me a chance to talk to my fellow brethren what do you folks think?
Thanks in advance I will be back to the forum in a week:-D
