General I'm catering a wedding tomorrow and I'm not a caterer

[Cornhole Champ]

Bold move serving two corn based items at a gay wedding reception. Those guys are going to be picking kernels off their cocks the entire honeymoon.

they aren't all gay, just Fred and Artie as far as I know. His brothers came up from texas and they came in for dinner friday night. He wants to take care of the food bill. I was like are you sure. Fred and Artie were thinking it would cost 1500 dollars for food but think it's gonna be more around 800, it might be slightly higher. He's like nope, I want to pay it. So I told him it will take a couple days to tally everything up because I'm not sure if we need to cook more. I am going to hammer them on appetizers so they are full before they get to the expensive stuff.

 

[Cornhole Champ]

You can change it yourself every 30 days, hombre. Tag me again on some stupid shit and see what happens.

Thanks Chris!

So it went great. Everyone loved the food, I was taking pictures till things went to shit.

What 200 center cut teres medallions look like, I should have cut these last night

Cooking baby backs

I should have got more shrimp, they knocked out those 7 pounds immediately, this was the first tray we set out, we filled it 2 more times

prepping the street corn, screw you niteprowler

wife made a vegetable and cracker plate, not happy that she bought a store bought dip, everything else was scratch made, but whatever, didn't have time to fuck with it

Apps were flowing well, drinks were getting filled and that is when things went to shit, we threw Phil's famous meatballs into the oven and when I checked them 30 minutes later I realized the pilot blew out on the oven. Then all hell broke loose for my stress level. Didn't take another picture of the rest of the food we made. I had told Fred dinner would be ready right after 3:30 when they renew their vows. I pulled him aside and was like uh, do the vows at 3:45. We are having a slight technical difficulty.

But everyone was happy, Fred and Artie couldn't thank me enough, we sold a ton of merchandise to the family from out of state. Bar sales were around 800 dollars and labor was around 275. I think the final food bill is going to be 875, I need to go over my numbers in the morning.

An envelope was passed around for the staff, we had two out front and me and another in the kitchen, they all walked with 210 dollars for 4 hours of work. Not bad for serving 70 people.

My wife and I need to sit down and figure out how can market this and we make more money from it, not sure if we charge per person or just an hourly rental fee for the restaurant plus extra added. Fine for doing this for close friends but I think it is a revenue stream we need to look into.

Back to Phil's famous meatballs, 90 percent of the people asked my daughter if they were meatballs, no, they are potatoes. I had to sneak over and have a beer with Phil and told him. He was like see, I wasn't that stoned that day.

I'm gonna go drink another beer.

You need to slap your wife. If you're going to use store bought dip, you put it in another container. This is day one shit. DAY, ONE.

Sheesh.

P.S. I'm glad all you fags had a great time. Please give Fred and Artie my love and best wishes.

Got the final total, it came out to 891.70 for everything. So basically 12.75 a head. I need to start researching this more for what to charge just regular people, not friends and family. Biggest issue is making sure the staff wants to come in on their days off to do it.

We have basically been telling people take care of the staff, I am thinking off the top of my head for what we did yesterday if it was someone else, 2700 hundred for the food and then a 500 dollar rental fee for the restaurant which would be split among the staff. 3200 dollars sound outrageous to you guys for 70 people?

I don't even know what people are charging for private functions these days, I need to make some phone calls to check it out.

In house only, I'm guessing?
How would the #s look if you just paid double time and not count on tips? I say that because if it's not a "friends @ cost" situation I don't think that envelope is going to get that full when you pass it. And you shouldn't be handing over facility rental, especially when you're place will be full of "never coming back here anyway" types.

Anyone else in your area or similar market doing this? We had a caterer buy a small café and turned it into her tasting room/meet the clients/prep space and did pretty well, if you ever transition (beep) that direction.

#1 thing is staffing it, especially if you're counting on your full time staff. Its gotta be worth it for them, you know? Every once in a while is probably cool, a little extra cash. Every weekend might get old. For you too.
