ok... here's the deal... let me know what you think and what you might charge.
Friends, repeat customers, trucking company that just moved into a new building and is having an open house.
400 people served from 11:30 to 2:30
They want me to provide
Chicken (cooked on site)
Brisket (reheated on site)
Tea
Lemonade
Coffee
Ice
here are the kickers....
another friend of theirs is doing pork
another business acquantance is doing the sides, beans, Mac & cheese, and probably slaw.
I will probably have to provide chafers for the hot sides and the capability to keep the sides hot. (cambros) etc.
the guy doing the pork will be providing his own chafer and possibly helping out.
I will probably be the one in charge of keeping the food out and setting up the buffet line.
the customer will be supplying some "helpers"... but I will also have my wife there and I may hire a guy to help me cook.
the story behind it all is that they have developed many relationships over the years and don't want to exclude anyone. I have no problem with that and for 400 people, I won't lose money, there should be plenty of that to go around to all those helping and providing food.
I have a figure in mind.. but would like your input and confirmation
Thanks
