So i just got approved by the city I live in to serve food at the local tavern on most Saturdays coming up. I need some advice on how much sides to make ..I'm making 1/4oz sandwiches with 1-4oz side and doing 1/2lb meat plates with 2 -4 oz sides ..what I'm a little confused with is, if I sell more sandwiches I will need 2 sides per 1/2 pound of meat vs if I sell 1/2 pound plates I will only need 1 side.. so im not sure on how much to to make ..just dont want to make to much..here is what I'm roughly making ..
10 lbs of finished brisket=20 plates or 40 sandwiches
20lbs finished pulled pork=40 plates or 80 sandwiches
20 lbs of pulled chicken=40 plates or 80 sandwiches
Total of 50 pounds of meat ..I'm having 3 sides,slaw(which I can get 5lb bgs) beans and fries .I'm thinking I will need more slaw and beans than fries..i have no idea what's going to sell more ..any advice would be appreciated..
