Today I did 8 loads of laundry, hand washed blouses and made a quick dinner. So much for my plans to make croissants!
I've made many transitions in my adult life, but working from home, creating and keeping a schedule that keeps you on track is hard. So when I got an email today asking if I was available for an event
in May, I thought, finally a catering moment. Of course I was tempted to tell the person I would get back to
them after I checked my schedule, but who are we kidding.
When you start a catering business pricing your menu becomes important because you have to know your profit margin. The general rule of thumb is cost plus 2/3. The formula comes in handy. I know I can offer a $5.00 lunch special with 2 pieces of chicken, a portion of rice, packaged cutlery, food container and bag within this profit formula. When I'm asked if I can do a boxed lunch for $7-10/person, I can confidently say yes to $8.50/person. Let's see if this offer is accepted. Stay tuned.
