Hey, everybody! We’re starting to put together plans for a fundraiser this year. We’re going with what works - a basic basket auction. We will have at least one bartop arcade machine as one of the prizes!!
We were thinking of using Prospector’s as our venue again, but I’m looking for some thoughts from you all on which package we go with. We can do an appetizer buffet that’s about $30 per person that includes chicken fingers, potato skins, mozzarella sticks and wings. The other option is a full buffet for $42 per person that includes Caesar salad, chicken Marsala, fried grouper, rolls, fruit &cheese, chicken fingers, green beans almondine, roasted potatoes and stuffed shells. Soft drinks and coffee are included with both. At these prices, the fund makes $0 on the door, it’s a direct pass-through.
If we call the appetizer buffet option 1 and the full buffet option 2, which would you pick? Should we stick with the thought process that the fund makes its money on the baskets, not the door?
