I made this brunch spread for my mom’s birthday brunch and when I posted it on instagram I received SOOO many messages from people asking if I take orders / how much I would charge if they needed something like this etc.. Here we are almost 3 years later & I am working on starting my little charcuterie business (smaller scale than this to start). I guess I’m just wondering what a bunch of strangers would pay for this & if it’s actually as impressive as people who know me and want to compliment me say it is. Thanks in advance 🙂
How much should I charge for something like this?

It depends on how much it cost you to make it
Cost of ingredients plus your time/labor plus profit markup
You have to break down the food costs, plus the labor, including set up at venue, plus mark up.

Figure out how much you charge per hour. That’ll depend on the area or event this is for and only you’ll really know that in addition to how labour intensive what you’re doing is.
Then multiple that number by the number of hours worked.
Lastly add cost of supplies.
Compare this with other prices local to you by figuring out the headcount and that should let you know if it’s accurate. If it’s not, your quality may be higher/lower and that’s okay just try to keep it within the ballpark of what you see online where you live.
It depends if the pastries and such are made from scratch or if you just bought in bulk and arranged them nicely.
Idk what I would pay, but it looks awesome and delicious so I think you’re onto something. Wishing you the best of luck with your journey.
I’m guessing your cost is around $450 so I’d probably charge $450 plus whatever hourly wage you want to charge yourself (maybe $30/hr). If you start selling to businesses for their happy hours you can book jobs during the week and charge even more. The people sending you messages on Instagram are likely thinking about birthday parties and such which often only happen on weekends. I’d consider pricing differently depending on event type
Priceless, all my favorite brunch foods.
$400
*One million dollars…… Mwaaa mwaahahahahahahahha!*
Whatever it cost x 4 or 5.
Posted in the wrong sub 🤔
Wow, how long did that take you to put together? Impressive.
All of that looks amazing. I’d say charging around $500 is reasonable.
How much money did you spend making all of this ?
$20/person
