Thank you.  I just did my first catering for 150 and lost my butt on the transaction.  I hope this helps me determine what's a fair price.

Hey redclaymud,  I have used the soEzzy V3.06  program with great results. Chris (soEzzy) is great for answering your questions. The only thing that you can't factor in is your disposables (plates, cups, flatware, napkins, etc.) If you raise your profit margin you can cover the cost of the disposables.  Others will charge a seperate fee for the disposables.

Thanks guys. I have a big cook for 150 coming up and this will help a lot in seeing if my prices are in the ballpark of where they should be.

Always doc everything so you can duplicate

I used to use one similar to that when I was catering - really opens your eyes to what things cost

Surely these things are still around but it doesn't look like anyone has had luck getting them reposted. I'll bump this with crossed fingers.

Ugh... I did it again... I wasn't on the last page before I posted. Thanks Callahan4life and Scarbelly.
