How much should I charge to cater a dinner party for 8?
Food is put out buffet style-I am providing the prime rib, sauce, vegetable side, bread, and wilted lettuce salad. I am to cook it and serve it in their home and do my own dishes. How much should I charge after food costs? (shopping at regular grocer).Question for caterers?
If you're just starting out, I'd go with food costs + 15%. Then give yourself a modest wage, like $12 an hour. Your time is important too.
I say that $12/hr. is modest since I've moonlighted as a banquet server at $12/hr and didn't even have to cook. Once word spreads and you do more parties you can jack up your rate gradually.
I would normally charge 3 times the food cost,Question for caterers?

Hmmmmm.......$200?
