catering for 600

Thats a lot of work my friend, 2K in the pocket isn't much money for the work involved!

 

[jbrink01]

Let's assume I spend 30 hours. Thats $70 an hour.....

 

[jbrink01]

Well it's over and I'm waiting the photos from my niece. But, we've got the math done. Just shy of $3k profit.

Amen Brother! Just worked out the base schedule for the coming summer. Looks like 36 events now through November 1. So far.........

 

[Countryhb]

Congrats! Love it when a plan comes together!

 

[hossrocks]

Well done brother... 3k profit is outstanding. How many hours do you think you have it the whole process? Not cook time, but actual hands on working.
When we do a large events I alway get nervous when the line starts to form... Same thing goes through my head every time.... Oh boy, did I bring enough? I can't imagine doing 600 people.

47 hours total. I have the same thoughts. We had exactly 1/2 pan of brisket left, and 2/3 pan of chicken cacciatore. Ran a little longer on sides - 2 pans of salad left, 1 pan of twice baked potato casserole, 1/2 pan of carrots, 1 pan of green beans, 1 pan of fettucini alfredo and maybe 80 servings of cobbler.

Worked out fine, as i'd rather be a little long than a hair short.

BTW - Started with 120#'s of boneless thighs, and took 150#'s of brisket.
