Hello Everyone - I've had a lot of inquiries regarding me selling my BBQ and have been shaking off the idea for a long time. I know BBQ is a hard business and I already have a great job. Needless to say, the BBQ chatter from folks asking has been taking it's toll on me, and the beat of "what if" has been churning in my head. So I've figured, let me check the forum!
I know there is a ton of complexities, but specifically I'd really appreciate it if someone with successful experience can give me some guidance from a pricing perspective on the following few scenarios. I've been asked about doing all of them recently and need a starting point.
- Selling BBQ myself at an event (like a farmer/arts market)- How much should I set the price of my meat at retail? (2X cost/expense, 3X, some other way?)
- Catering BBQ for a small event (like dropping it off at household superbowl party at leaving) - price per pound? per person?
- Selling BBQ to a Restaurant to resale - How much should I price to a Restaurant who wants to buy my product to resell to their customers? So I make, hand to them, and they sell.
