I thought we were discussing who pays for people (band, etc) to eat at an event. Caterers provide food for $, that is a business. Customers pay for food.....
Since this is an open forum, there are numerous people that are not caterers answering....it'd be nice to know what business they own, so we can make a comparison amoungst gimmees....if you are a caterer that is feeding the band or additions for free, what are you feeding them? Sashimi grade tuna? or Prime Rib or .....?
ie... I consult, any extra advice given is either negotiated at an additional price or we discuss $ etc. It is my choice to give more.
Teaching, classes are negiotiated up front....x# of dishes/recipes/time for x$....if the class goes over that's my choice. If you add 5 more students you owe me X more $.
Plumbing....if you are a plumber and are fixing my tub, would you charge me more to fix my sink? I'd think that would be up to you, not me to decide. |
