catering just the sides

[Robert]

Got a chance to bid on 175 employees for a county road department. Sides only. Dressing, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, corn and cranberry sauce.

I didn't ask but assume almost all men.

How much gravy would you estimate?

I have done a few jobs of this size before at factories with nearly the same sides(but also provided the meat), but for the life of me, I can't remember the gravy equation.

Also, just for fun, how about a price estimate?

Thanks,

Robert

for the sides I provide 1/2 tins and that will yield 20 to 25 servings, I charge 25 per 1/2 tin picked up
gravy about a 1/3 -1/2 cup per person

Big Belly,

Thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity, what would you charge for the whole thing? I'm assuming heavy eaters. I find it interesting to see what different areas charge.

Thanks,

Robert
