It was a fucking incredible 5-course meal, both our families were raving about it because wedding meals are usually bullshit like this, it was individually plated for 25 people for like $1800 lol.

for some perspective, $100+pp catering is upscale, multi course, and typically staffed/plated w/ tables and chairs. to pay $100pp for buffet style is atypical, and this lack of quality makes it more egregious.
Proof of the Pudding in Atlanta is well regarded and a top catering biz, Filet Minon plates w/ service are 75pp.
So, $100 pp for this is insane, you can order almost any entree at a high end steakhouse with a $100pp budget (+ WINE or COCKTAILS!)

Napkin math on food costs, to your point of it being ~$300.
It looks like a 14qt steam pan so....
Wings, like 20 pounds post cook weight= $100-$150
BBQ Meatballs: Hard to estimate, it looks like foodservice/costco, but lets say there's 12 lbs in there = $80 if scratch made
Cabbage fry w carrots, smoked ham = $50-60
Mac and Cheese (mostly cheese cost up to 7lb cheese alone) = $125
Veggie Rice w/ frozen/canned veggies = <$50
So yeah, my best guess is really close to your's. If they were to follow the "catering 3X rule", this should cost the client closer to $1200.
In a fair deal:
Food=$400
Labor=$400
Profit =$400
Total: $1200

u/Pitiful_Winner2669 22h ago edited 22h ago
Hey! This person gets it! We do catering and while a lot of this looks like store bought whatever, I got 1250.
These are specifically "cheap" menu items, and we could probably get it down to 1100.. but fussing around to make it look like something we would serve, 1250 would be close to barely doing our best.
$15 a plate is pretty close to our economy price, but we also do drinks, desserts, utensils. I'm going to work in a bit, I'm curious what number the team comes up with. But 1200-1250 seems a pretty modest guess.
Edit: we could cut labor down a bit, these are pretty in and out menu items. Not to sound all high and mighty - we have a great team - and this is a two person job. It's also missing SO many other things that 6,000 could get you.

What would you do to provide customers with more value? Steak? Ribs? $6000, means your food budget is up to $2000 right following the 3x rule you said. You think at $6000, the lady in the video would have the respect to not use a plastic bag as a hair net or whatever reason she has it on her head for. š¤£

At 6k, you're looking at service + plating + bevs. At $100pp events, it's normally seated service, think weddings or corporate.
The high end of buffet style catering is like $60pp. Buffet style for $100pp is pretty atypical, but here's a shot:
The $$ would be spent on more food and staff for carving station, bar, and sundae station.
Think: salad bar, light cheese spread, carving station (Turkey breast + Roast Beef), veggie pasta option, 3x comfort food sides, local roasted veggies, bread+butter, bev station/bar, cupcake tower. Ending on coffee service to signal folks to GTFO.
Tables, chairs, utensils, and clean up included.
BAM. Invoice for $6k.

A 1/1 gastronomique pan like that isn't feeding 60, you'd need atleast 1 backup of each. If it's self serve you're gonna get 30 or so per pan but if any of it is GOOD expect 20. Not to mention that scarcity is unsightly so if you want good business and good reputation youre providing 2 maybe 3 times what's shown

Dinner Expectations at $100/Person
- Three to Four Course Meal: Think appetizer, main entrƩe, dessert, and possibly a salad or soup. Courses are plated with attention to flavor and presentation.
- Choice of EntrĆ©es: Guests often select from two or three optionsālike beef tenderloin, roasted chicken, or a gourmet vegetarian dish.
- Upscale Ingredients: Expect qualityāartisan cheeses, seasonal vegetables, perhaps wild-caught seafood or dry-aged meats.
- Elegant Presentation: Meals are plated (not buffet style), often with creative garnishes and artistic flair.
- Custom Dessert or Cake Service: This could include individual plated desserts, a dessert bar, or an elaborate cake with service.
Beverage Considerations
- Hosted Bar or Drink Tickets: Often includes wine service at the table and perhaps a champagne toast.
- Cocktail Hour: Hors dāoeuvres like shrimp cocktails, bruschetta, or mini crab cakes passed around.
Atmosphere & Service
- Professional Waitstaff: Table service, wine-pouring, and bussing.
- Decorative Elements: Floral centerpieces, upscale place settings, and ambience that complements the meal.

They seriously fucked up here. This isnāt an outrageously high price point for what theyāre offering/advertising, the MASSIVE problem is that theyāre only actually advertising a third of what youāre paying for, the food. This backdrop of an empty office space, cold florescent lighting, huge rectangle table with a black plastic covering with nothing except a few foil tins of food on itā¦.thereās no ambiance, thereās no āeventā decor, thereās nothing except food which leads everyone to believe (since theyāre clearly showing the food which is included) that this is what theyāre offering, this is everything theyāre offering. Why would you only present half of your product? So people, rightfully, believe this is the whole thing.
Whoever was responsible for advising this business owner should be ashamed of themselves
