Pricing Pulled Pork for 200 People [Archive]
View the full version of this article: Pulled Pork for 200 People at a Reasonable Price Philly-QueMaster July 16, 2018 at 3:11 p.m. I was recently requested to prepare a meal for 200 people at a church. They wanted to know how much the pulled pork and two sides would cost. What do you think the monetary value of this is? Would you be willing to do it on a per-head basis? Instead of charging per pound, would you charge per side and bill for the sides separately? Thanks Patrick sudsandswine July 16, 2018 at 4:25 p.m.
- Do you have an idea of what your expenses are?
- For example, if I were to bill for 200 people and I was delivering sandwiches and side dishes, I would charge per person.
- It’s about $2 per pound for pig butts around here.
- Coleslaw and baked beans would be my choice for side dishes.
- It’s only that I’m not sure whether I should price it out per head or charge it based on the price per pound for the meat and then price out the sides separately.
- What do you think is a reasonable price per person for two sides and two pulled pork sandwiches?
- I don’t cater, although I have cooked for huge groups of people in the past.
You’ll want to make certain that you’re generating income.

Do you have all of the disposables needed for the event, such as plates, flatware, and napkins?
Keep in mind that it takes around 120 dishes to feed 100 individuals in a self-serve buffet style setting.
Allow them to decide whether or not they want to order extra just to be safe.
I additionally charge labor costs for the employees necessary to prepare, serve, clean up, and put away all of the equipment that would not have been included in a drop-off service.

They will either pick it up or I will drop it off for an additional cost, whatever they like.
I’m sorry, but I’m not sure what a reasonable pricing per person would be for pulled pork and two sides.
Are you preparing food for them, or will you be catering the event, setting up and maintaining a buffet, and so on?
If you are only cooking and they are taking care of everything else, and you will either deliver the meal or pick it up, you should clarify how much you are supplying per person, such as 5oz pork and 4oz of each side, and charge them per person based on how many people buy from the menu.
For example, if they are feeding 200 people, it COULD need up to 240 servings.
When I provide on-site catering, I charge an additional 20% for the meal to account for customers who consume enormous servings and return for seconds or thirds, among other things.
When catering an event as opposed to making a drop-off, you may expect to spend a significant amount of additional time and should charge appropriately.

I was going to sit down and figure out how much everything was going to cost.
Any suggestions?
Assuming that each sandwich contains 4 ounces of pork.
With raw pork costing $2/lb, and assuming you don’t cut anything and leave the butts on the bone, you’re looking at a 50-60 percent yield for cooked weight.
For 200 plates of pork, you’re going to go through a lot of rub; I think I used approximately $60 worth of rub for that number of people, and that was at wholesale costs.
You’ll have to earn some money off of that now.
You’ll need to find out how much each of your sides will cost you now.

All of our events are potluck style, therefore I’m not charging a single penny for them.
Philly-QueMaster On July 27, 2018, at 9:51 p.m., Yes, I understand, but he believed I was unaware of the fact that I must get licenses, permits, and insurance if I intend to charge.
And, yes, I intend to volunteer my time at my church.
I understand that Poorolddan’s reaction was not what you were hoping to hear, but he was responding for a very good reason.
For our family meals, as well as a nephew’s wedding rehearsal supper, I am available to help in the kitchen.
Even so, I’m not sure how much of a ‘danger’ I’m putting myself in by performing the cooking.
I add 1 pound of bacon and 1 pound of sausage to the mix.
One batch of cookies costs me roughly $20-$25 to bake and makes enough to fill a small aluminum foil pan.
If the cost of ingredients for that pan is $22.50, you must sell that pan for at least $67.50, which means that the per-person pricing for a 4oz portion of beans will be at least $2.70 at the very least.
At least in my market, I’d lower my costs to the point where I could get that pricing down to the $2 range, unless they were so wonderful that customers were willing to spend the extra money for them.

You should at the very least get case price from Sam’s ($1.60 in Bluffton) if you’re going to be in the judicial system by the time this happens.
That will be of some assistance to you.
I’m now paying $1.20 for fresh and may save an additional $0.10-.15 by using frozen.

I’ve done a few little parties for friends in the past. For example, a friend’s uncle requested me to smoke pig butt for his party, and he also asked me to choose my own pricing for it. I don’t want to rape him, but I also don’t want to end myself in a position of financial disadvantage. I’ve looked on the internet to check how much individuals charge per pound of merchandise. The majority of individuals earn between 8 and 12 dollars per pound; however, the concern I have is whether or not that amount includes the cost of the meat and the smoking process.

How Much Does Pulled Pork Cost?
The most recent update was made on August 15, 2018. Pulled pork is a term used to describe the soft flesh from a pork shoulder cut that can be easily pulled away from the roast with your finger or with a fork. Pulled pork is separated into two parts: the butt end and the shank end. The butt end is the end closest to the butt end. The term “butt” does not refer to the pig’s real buttocks in the traditional sense. Instead, it is referred to as the “butt” section since it is the region of the shoulder that is placed at the back end of the arm.
Because of its shank bone, the shank section, on the other hand, is known as the shank portion.
As a result, the pulled pork becomes harsher and more difficult to chew.
How much does pulled pork cost per pound?
In general, the price of pulled pork will vary depending on where you get it and how much you order. Purchase of a “tub” or “can” of it at your local grocery shop may cost anywhere from $4 to $10 per 16 to 24-ounce container, depending on the size. The price of processed pulled pork may vary depending on the brand, the quantity, and the location where you get it from. One popular kind of pulled pork, Harvest Creek pulled pork, which can be obtained on Amazon, costs around $5 per 12-ounce can.
- Aside from Jack Daniel’s and Lloyd’s, other well-known brands include Curly’s, Ball Park, Byron’s, Tony Roma’s, Morningstar Farms, and Swanson’s, to name a few.
- Purchasing a five-pound platter of BBQ pulled pork from Gordon’s Food Service will cost you between $20 to $25.
- According to the website of Dickie Do’s BBQ, a barbecue catering company based in North Carolina, an official pricing list is available.
- In the event that you wanted to order three sides to go with the pulled pork, the price would start at $10 per person.
Pulled pork overview
Pulled pork is a fatty, tasty meat that is often produced from the pig shoulder, which is also known as the pork butt or the Boston shoulder in some circles.
Pork shoulder will be smoked at a low fire over an extended length of time to effectively weaken the connective tissue, resulting in meat that is so tender that it can be easily torn apart. However, while it is often smoked, it may also be cooked in the oven or served in a slow cooker with success.
Tips to know:
On average, one pound of cooked meat should be enough to feed four to six persons. You might be asking how much pulled pork should be served per person. Unless the gathering is significantly more hungry than normal, experts recommend a half-pound per raw weight of meat. Served with BBQ sauce, cole slaw, or in a hard shell taco shell, pulled pork is a delicious combination. Supposedly delicious meal may be created by combining it with onions, black beans, and cilantro. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Sweeet Baby Ray’s pulled pork earned a score of 67 out of 100 for being the finest store-bought pulled pork.
How can I save money?
You may save money by purchasing in bulk from a local butcher or caterer. Most will reduce the price per pound by $1 to $2 if you purchase more than 10 pounds at a time. In the same vein, purchasing pulled pork in a container is not a good idea. For example, at Sam’s Club, a 64-ounce jar costs around $13 and is available for purchase online. Coupons for the brands mentioned above are frequently available online or in the local newspaper. Before you go shopping, check the internet to see if you can save a few dollars.

If you make a purchase after clicking on one of the links on this page, we may get a commission at no additional cost to you as a result of your transaction. Any smoker will tell you that the most important thing to do while smoking pork shoulder (or any other sort of meat) is to concentrate entirely on the task at hand: smoking a superb pork shoulder. The last thing you need is to be mentally adding and subtracting numbers and second guessing yourself about whether or not you prepared enough food to feed your guests on your special day.
We also offer a helpful pulled pork per person calculator that you can use to estimate how much pulled pork you will need.
Pulled Pork Per Person Calculator
When calculating how much pulled pork per person you will need to purchase, there are two fundamental rules that you must keep in mind. The first concept is that, on average, you should count on 1/3 pound of cooked pulled pork per person while preparing pulled pork. In other words, one pound of pulled pork may usually provide enough food for three persons. It goes without saying that this amount will vary depending on how hungry your visitors are, whether or not you have children, and what you’re serving alongside the pulled pork.
To grasp the second premise, one must first realize that cooked pork weighs less than raw pork.
Water and other liquids are drawn out of the pig throughout the cooking process, resulting in a finished product that is substantially lighter than the pork was when it was first prepared.
Keeping all of these criteria in mind, the following is the method for determining how much pulled pork to serve per person: (1/3) x 2 = Amount of Raw Pork You Should Purchase (based on the number of guests).
You would multiply the number of visitors you have by a third (or divide by 3). As a result, your ultimate aim should be 4 pounds of cooked pulled pork. When you multiply 4 lbs of cooked pulled pork by 2, you get 8 lbs of raw pork that you need purchase.
Considerations To Be Mindful Of
In the vast majority of cases, the formulae and ideas outlined above will be completely effective. However, there are a few factors that you should take into mind while performing your calculations. From time to time, it can be advisable to modify the amount of pulled pork per person that you create to best accommodate your diners.
Time of Day
If your smoked BBQ feast is served at lunch or dinner, please specify. For the most part, lunch portions are smaller than dinner amounts – so if you’re serving your pulled pork at lunch, you might want to reduce the amount of cooked pulled pork you serve each person to 1/4 pound instead of 1/3 pound, or even less.
Type of Event
Additionally, the location of your barbeque is really important! Are you preparing a meal for a formal dinner or a barbeque by the pool? Whenever you prepare a meal for a sit-down supper, people tend to eat more and go back for seconds if they have room in their bellies. According to my observations, if your barbeque takes place in a more dynamic location, such as a pool party or a tailgate, you may find that you have a reduced requirement for the amount of food per participant. Because individuals are up and moving around, they are more likely to err on the side of caution when it comes to overindulging in food.
- Is it only pork, or are you also cooking burgers or smoking other forms of meat to accompany it?
- If your visitors have a large number of alternatives to pick from, you may want to consider reducing the overall amount of each type of food you provide.
- Is it sandwiches or tacos that you’re serving?
- If you’re serving pulled pork with a variety of delectable sides, you probably won’t need to prepare a mountain of pork for your guests to devour.
How About the Kiddos?
Unless your child is experiencing a significant growth spurt, the likelihood is that they will consume less food per person than your adult visitors. Although every child is unique, we prefer to plan for 0.25 pounds of cooked pulled pork per child for any of our cookouts in general.
When in Doubt… Leftovers Aren’t A Bad Thing
With the exception of children who are experiencing a significant growth spurt, the chances are that your children will consume less food per person than your adult guests. Although every child is unique, we prefer to estimate 0.25 pounds of cooked pulled pork per child for any of our cookouts.
Storing Leftover Pulled Pork
To conclude on a positive note, it’s critical to understand how to properly and safely store any leftovers you may have. When it comes to excellent leftovers and keeping the flavor of your pulled pork, proper storage is essential. Take a container that can be sealed and kept airtight, such as a plastic freezer bag. Place your leftovers in the container, being sure to pour in any extra fluids that have accumulated in the serving pan during cooking. Because the fluids are essential for retaining moisture and effectively reheating your leftover BBQ, it is important to keep them in the fridge.
It is recommended that you consume your food within 48 hours if it has been chilled to guarantee that it is safe to eat.
Technically speaking, frozen pulled pork may be stored indefinitely; but, in practice, it will last around 3 months. After three months, the flavor of your frozen food will begin to diminish as a result of the dreaded freezer burn.
Final Thoughts
This advice on how much food you should anticipate preparing for your guests should hopefully have clarified the air for you! Finally, deciding on the appropriate amount requires a combination of art and science. There are a few broad guidelines to follow, and generally speaking, a third of a pound of cooked pulled pork per person is plenty. However, depending on your audience and the environment, you may need to adjust this number up or down. And, just in case we’ve put the wagon before the horse here, if you want to understand the principles of pulled pork, check out our article on how to pull pork next.

If your organization is exempt from paying sales tax, we must have a copy of your NYS Sales Tax Exemption Certificate prior to the event. Aside from that, we shall be required to collect 8 percent sales tax from your organization on the amounts we bill.

What we provide
In the summer, there’s nothing better than a backyard barbecue. While hamburgers and hotdogs are still popular choices for a barbecue lunch, pulled pork has become more popular as well. Do you still not believe us? Try yelling “pulled pork” and see how many people come running to your BBQ to have a taste of it for themselves. Pulled pork is a crowd-pleasing dish that provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate your BBQ talents. While we’re on the subject, when it comes to pulled pork, there’s nothing else that compares in terms of both appearance and flavor.
- Oh, my goodness!
- Take our word for it when we say that if pulled pork appears on the menu, it will not be there for long.
- Hosts are frequently confronted with the challenge of determining how much food will be acceptable for a given occasion.
- It’s not a bad thing to have some leftover pulled pork, but you don’t want to end up with 10 pounds of leftovers.
But How Much Pulled Pork Per Person?
If you are having difficulty determining the quantity, you have arrived to the correct location. In this post, we’ll talk about a pulled pork calculator, or, to put it another way, we’ll put out a set of detailed recommendations for making pulled pork. These will assist a dissatisfied host in determining how much raw pork to purchase for their upcoming outdoor gathering. Essentially, the guideline is comprised on two really straightforward rules:
Rule1
Consider the following scenario: you need to prepare one pound of prepared pulled pork to feed three people. As a result, one-third of a pound, or around five ounces, is sufficient per person.
Rule2
When it comes to cooking the pork, you should expect around half of the output. Example: If you are cooking a 20-pound piece of raw pork, you will finish up with 10 pounds of pulled pork that is already prepared and ready for serving. In accordance with this guideline, you may determine how much raw pork you require using a very simple formula, which is detailed in the following section: The number of guests multiplied by the number of servings per pound is the amount of pulled pork you’ll need to prepare (in pounds).
We realize how perplexing things must appear to you at the moment.
As a result, I’ve provided you with a sample computation so that you may put things into perspective and begin to make sense of things.
Sample Calculation For Pulled Pork Servings
Number of visitors you’re expecting: 60 individuals 60 persons x 3 meals per pound = 20 pounds of pulled pork that has been made.
20 pounds of prepared pulled pork / 0.5 = 40 pounds of raw pork you need. In a word, you have to obtain roughly 40 pounds of raw pork to serve 60 guests to the utmost.
Here Is A Handy Calculator To Help You With The Math
To be sure, this may be a very useful formula to have on hand, but you must also consider a variety of other elements before arriving at final numbers.
Age Group and Gender
It’s true that various age groups have diverse food preferences. Teenagers have a tendency to drink more, but a group of elderly men would consume less. In a similar vein, children will consume far less food than adults. Men, on the other hand, tend to consume more alcohol than women. Additionally, we would recommend that you take into consideration the occupations of your visitors as well. For example, a group of athletes may have a greater hunger than a group of individuals who work in an office environment.
Type Of Occasion
The cuisine and the amount of food you serve are totally dependent on the occasion you’re entertaining. If we may inquire, is this a children’s party that you’re throwing? Is it a social gathering, or, as we already indicated, an outside celebration of some sort? Things would be different if it was simply a normal get-together to which you invited your neighbors and friends to spend Sunday night with you and them. To summarize, you must first determine the nature of the event for which you intend to prepare food because different occasions necessitate different sorts of meal preparation.
Time Of The Day
We are confident that you are aware of the fact that the majority of individuals consume more meat during supper. As a result, you may want to give careful consideration to the time of day before beginning your meal planning. It is likely that you will need to allot around 5 to 6 ounces of pulled pork per person if you are hosting an afternoon or evening party, and approximately 7 to 8 ounces of pulled pork per person if you are hosting a dinner party.
Style Of Dish You’re Serving
If the pulled pork is given as a complementary side dish, such as with a salad, the amount of pulled pork required for sandwiches will obviously be different than that required for sandwiches. If, on the other hand, you choose a buffet, we recommend that you be a little more liberal with your portions. This is due to the fact that buffets are difficult to plan, and you can never be certain how much meat each visitor will get to consume. Well, we think it is better to have leftovers than guests leave with half-empty tummies, no?
How To Store Pulled Pork Leftovers
Even if you make meticulous estimates, you may find yourself with some leftover pulled pork. As a result, make sure to keep your leftover pulled pork in an airtight container. It’s important to note that you may require more than one container to store it. It’s also important to pour in any surplus sauce to ensure that the meat keeps its natural taste. After that, simply store it in the refrigerator and you’re done.
Quick Tips To Make Your Pulled Pork Better
Make careful to brine the pork shoulder the night before your gathering. While you are cooking it, it will retain more moisture as a result of this. A pork shoulder is a huge piece of meat that requires a significant amount of time to properly prepare. As a result, be certain that you take this into consideration. It might take anywhere from 10 to 12 hours to cook, depending on how much weight is involved. The general rule of thumb is that one pound of beef should be cooked for 90 minutes. If you don’t have that much time, you might want to try utilizing thetexas crutch to reduce the amount of time spent cooking.
It is intended to be cooked at a low and moderate temperature.
Before serving pulled pork, one last consideration should be made: make sure it is at room temperature before serving.
You must heat the shoulder to at least 200 degrees before you begin to shred it since the shoulder has a lot of connective tissue. It will be rough and chewy if you do not do so.
