I've been asked to quote Pulled pork sandwiches for 400 people. I am to provide the pork, rolls, a vinegar based sauce and tomato based sauce. The event organizer is providing sides, plates, flatware, napkins, etc.
My local Restaurant Depot sells bone in butts for $1.39/lb for the case price. I can get fresh made rolls from a local bakery for $4.80/dozen.
I am figuring 4 oz per sandwich, and a 50% yield. Thinking 250# raw pork to give some margin to prevent being short. Also 42 dozen rolls.
This yields $549 in costs before sauces.
I already quoted the job at $1/person less that what I would normally charge because it is a military appreciation event, but I would like to know what others would charge to ensure my thoughts are in line.
Thanks.
