I am cooking for 80 elementary age boys, I buy all the food, pans, containers, ingredients, etc
I want to charge $1650 a week including food, does that sound normal?

Figure out how much you are spending on ingredients and supplies. Then factor in your labor and wear and tear on your equipment and price it accordingly.

This is very undercharging. Figure that the meal (food only) will be about $5 a meal. Pans, containers, gas and electric will add to the cost. And your salary will add to the cost. How many meals a week is it? $1650 Wil barely cover just the food ingredients for one meal per boy for the week! I’d say 80x5=400, 400x3 (if you’re doing three meals a day) = 1200, 1200x6 (if you’re doing six days a week)= 7200 just for the food. Add at least 200 for pans, containers and what about your salary?

Doesn’t sound like it will even cover food.
Please make a sample menu and figure out how much the food will cost…

Im curious How did you get to that number? If its four days a week thats a bit more rhan $5 per meal. How can you possibly charge so little?? You wont even be covering costs, forget a salary.
