I started my own charcuterie business about a year ago, and so far these are the boards I’m most proud of. They were for a bride and groom to enjoy the morning of their wedding as they got ready, and the brides portion also included a platter of bagels and lox, and locally made pastries and croissants. The ingredients cost me about $250-300 total (it’s been about 6 months since so I can’t remember exactly) and shopping/prepping/presentation/delivery took me a total of 12 hours.
I charged them $650 total. As I get more orders/business I fear I’m not charging appropriately.
The grooms mother asked me recently if I would do a grazing table for 50+ people for a birthday party this coming September, and I want to make sure I’m charging my worth while not over charging her.
Also to note, I do everything completely customizable. The client picks what goes on the board after thorough discussion and input, so I’ll never buy an expensive cheese if they asked for something cheaper and vice versa.
