Risque, ive been doing some research but havent found too many supportive statistics for industry avg profit margins, I was always told 33% food cost, then all else stack on top.. but anyways, i'm glad to hear your response.
As for meatballs you can buy them frozen and make a sauce within 10 minutes. Hummus is just as simple as whipping out the blender. But I do agree anything production wise makes more sense however on $75 and 10 people to feed I think the options for this are very simplistic. I think it also greatly depends on the region where you are catering to because I know about 60% of the foods mentioned on the boards would not go over well with any of the crowds that I have been serving (I think)
P.S. even though its off season for the strawberries I have been getting some of the best ones of the year in the past few weeks, great size, free of blemishes, originating from mexico brought through an american supplier.. works for me?
