Anyone watching this. Get your licensing, LLC & a CPA. Buy exclusively wholesale, negotiate with food vendors, local butchers who will sell wholesale or direct from farms is a significant move.

I do BBQ catering on the side as well. My last catering event, my out of pocket on food and serving materials was close to $800. That was my cost. Doesn't include my time cooking and preparing. Estimated for the event was for 125 people, I charged $26 per plate. Food, serving materials, my time cooking and preparing, and setting up and serving at the event, I charged $3250

Wrong. If you have a business, it makes profit. If you have a hobby, you lose money. If you don't actually make profit, you are NOT a professional. Just more pretending. This example is not self sustaining. It's extremely subsidized with free labor.

@fabmakebuildcook6274 Год назад

@@shoreangler3383 It could be argued that making a profit and being rich are two different things. You're correct that if a business doesn't make money, then it isn't a viable business. I do think "being rich" is completely subjective though.

@TheRealChetManley 4 года назад

Its more than a few hours work. You have to figure in total time as well. 1 hr round trip to gather supplies, 15 minutes of shopping time, say 1.5 hrs total to procure supplies. Delivery time, another 1.5 hrs, so 3 hrs so far. Fuel costs for the van, probably 4 gallons of fuel used, about $12. Cook time, its 12 hours there, now lets say you're only actually working 4 hours using that drum. Food prep another hour to get everything packaged up. So you made $158-$12 for fuel. $146/8 hrs of work time (probably more tending to drum etc). $146/8= $18.25/hr. Dont forget you have to pay taxes on that. Probably $12/hr after taxes...if you are enjoying it and make some extra money, why not 😁

@SDSBBQs 4 года назад

I can tell you that while your numbers might be sound they are way off for me. The good thing is the Restaurant Depot is 15 minutes away form my house, it usually takes me longer in line than anything but I am typically in a out in under 15 minutes... I can be back home in under an hour on a good day. But I also try and fit in other errands so that once I am out I am killing multiple birds. Prep time... It takes me 15-20 minutes to trim and prep the brisket and pork shoulder, and that time is just after I start my fire so by the time I am ready to put the food on the smoker is almost up to temp. A few trips (2-3 tops) to the drum are almost all under 5 minutes. The prep to get the food out the door is the most time consuming part, that can take 30-45 minutes depending on all I have to do. Hopefully you get the picture and the "work/time" that I invest isn't as much as others maybe because I have gotten more efficient at doing things. But in the end it is some extra money and all those other little things don't matter, to me at least.

I really appreciate the breakdown of costs. I've been doing the barbecue side-hustle for a few years myself, and I know how that goes. However, I think it'd be a lot better to see the breakdown over time. 5 years of domain names at $53 is less than a buck a month. Taking it all out of one cook is a good idea for you, but it doesn't really show us the whole picture. Plus, like you said, you didn't include other costs like equipment and maintenance costs.

The overhead is def more for me than what people expect it to be.

You are welcome question what do you charge to smoke a turkey or the turkey drumsticks

@SDSBBQs 2 года назад

It all depends on the price I was able to get the Turkeys / Legs for. I don't have a "set" price I have been burned in the past and know I need to base the price on the price I pay near the time of the event.

Broadline supplier is the way to go. How much is ur time worth. 3 hours maybe? To go to Restaurant Depot, shop, load drive back unload ect. Get a delivery and will save tons of time. Price is comparable and product is better from a Sysco or Usfoods.

@SDSBBQs 3 года назад

More often than not I don't have the volume to justify having things delivered. I also prefer to select the cuts I am going to be cooking since the size of what's needed changes with almost every cook. Thanks for the suggestion and I'll look into them to see if they deliver in the smaller quantities that I need.

@Chris-wp3ew 4 года назад

Hi Dash... I would suggest your cost calculations are a bit low. e.g., $3 in Charcoal for let's say an 8-hour cook? You also mentioned a split of wood. Meat cost and accessories? Most of us don't have access to Restaurant Depot.

@SDSBBQs 4 года назад

So this wasn't meant to be an end all be all just an example, of what "I" did. Some of these numbers are low because I was able to get the things I needed rather inexpensively... The charcoal in my drum will last WAY longer than I need for a cook and using a 1/3 of the bag that cost me $10 was right at about $3. The other costs "YOU" might have are probably going to be high when you're starting out and or aren't able to take advantage of getting things in bulk, or at a Restaurant Depot . But there are times when I've found RD doesn't always have the best prices, but what they do have almost always is the selection. No access to RD isn't the end of the world, trust me. Most if not all of the things I cook can be gotten at Sam's, Costco, and or BJs wholesale.

Hioe you and the family are doing well, so where does it come in that you can make a nice profit to able to buy another grill if needed pr another vehicle or just start putting back to watch your business grow? I wanna get out there but right now I would just be workinh with a double den propane fryer and griddle. No trailer and no shelter.

First I enjoyed last night's live,wish I could have been more active but,well,you know. Thanks for doing this break down. It's a good starting point and hopefully a wakeup call for those folks who are thinking about going into bbq professionally and have illusions of grandeur but haven't truly looked at the costs of doing business. And of course costs of doing business and the amount are going to be different in different parts of the country and other variavbles. I noticed you did the times three with meat but not the other items used. When I did my owner operator trucking business I looked at everything I purchased as a investment, the truck, fuel, tarps ,straps and chains,etc. . This means I need to get a return on all those things purchased. This does of course raise the selling price. Now this is how I'm looking at getting started with my catering business. This can be difficult for some folks to consider because it can drive up the costs the customer has to pay but by doing this in advance it lets you know if your your business has a financial chance. Be in it to win,not fail. After all it's not necessary to cook professionally to enjoy bbq. The backyard is a great place also. Have a great day.😃🍻

@SDSBBQs 4 года назад

Once again you added an objective I had not thought about... adding the costs of the consumables into the price calculations. More often than not those costs are absorbed into one of the times the cost of the food. But adding a little bit on top to cover some of those costs is a great idea. Thanks again as always for watching and participating in the live streams!

@victorbenner539 4 года назад

@@SDSBBQs thanks for your reply Dash. I was in a rush to get to work and thought my thoughts were not as well focused as I would normally like so I'm happy you understood what I was going for. I do agree with taking the " profits " from a cook big or small and dumping right back into the business. And i liked your word of "consumable " for foil etc. I believe there is another category perhaps infrastructure would be the word. For things like shelfs, coolers, etc. Anyway have a great day. Later.

@SDSBBQs 4 года назад

LOL... Infrastructure... Yeah I just say "Stuff" my wife calls all the things I have had to buy over the years my bbq junk when it's strewn all over the house before and after a big cook!

@victorbenner539 4 года назад

@@SDSBBQs yeah I get it. For the ladies our bbq " stuff" falls into the category of " big boys and their toys" And truth be told there is probably a lot of truth to it. I like to think if it more as star treks Feringy Characters as one of the rules of Acquisition ( hope the star trek reference isn't lost on you. ) Anyway so to add another category of money to be set aside for would be for future equipment to grow the addiction ahhh,I mean business growth 😄. Like a new two door cabinet smoker from LSG. Or, do I say it out loud, a MOBURG! Oh, I got shivers just typing that one. By the way, I did put any new equipment purchase on hold until I finish with my business license. However I'm thinking I will go for the big insulated vertical smoker from LSG before getting the two door. I believe being able to walk away or sleep through the night while the food cooks will be a better investment for me while I'm making the transition from my trucking job to eventual full time bbq a better way to go. I can't be dead ass tired driving a truck during the day because I was up all night tending a stick burner. One last thing, the new Mobuttababy stickers look great. And you saying if you want to do Y Tube just do it and don't worry about the first many vids because they probably won't be as good as you want them to be because it just takes time and practice so just do it. I get that.
