The cost of goods topic on slices renewed my finalizing pricing for a venture. Since it is festival and fair season all over the country, I thought I’d run a thread here.
Considering a 6-cut of cheese only 16" pizza that costs me $3.00 for whole pie and $.50 for slice . . . I am planning to set a festival at price of $3 each? Other thought is $2.50 each. At the lower price, I gotta keep a steady supply of quarters on hand . . . buy a box of them at the bank. I would also sell pepperoni slices at $3.00. Any input on this? Am I on the right track or leaving money on the table?
I expect to sell about 100 to 120 pizzas that weekend. So, 2.50 each gives me $15 per pie (gross) . . . and $3 per slice gives me $18 per pie. $3.50 would yield $21 total per. I just don’t know where the break will fall in making more money per slice, but costing me additional sales and dropping my final return. Arggh! They are advertising about 15,000 attendees . . . about 20 food vendors.
With no other input, I am going with 2.50 for cheese and 3.00 for pepperoni . . . . and 4.00 for 4 ounces of meatballs in sauce in a cardboard boat.
