This page is for estimating breakfast costs for FUDCon:Tempe_2011.

Current Proposed Breakfast

Budget

An approximate cost for breakfast for 150 attendees is $600. Catering would be through ASU Catering, via their "Simple Takeaways" menu. FOOD WILL HAVE TO BE PICKED UP. Someone will have to help Robyn do this! All utensils / plates / cups / etc. are included.

  • Food: $335.73
  • Coffee/OJ/Tea: $147.88
  • Sodas: $60
  • Total before sales tax: $543.71
  • 8.3% sales tax in tempe: $45.12
  • Total: $588.84

Current Proposed Menu

Proposed Menu is through ASU Catering. This probably involves the least headaches as far as paperwork, and as a bonus, is also the cheapest option for the menu items we're looking at.

Specifically: This menu comes from ASU's "Simple Takeaways" Menu. This means we have to PICK UP THE FOOD. I am willing to go pick up the food, however, I will need helpers.

Please note that I am not Martha Stewart, however, I have read on the always-correct interwebz that having an allocation of 1.5 pieces of bread/pastry/bagel is a good allotment for this type of activity. I've also included seasonal fruit as an option for vegetarians (who can probably eat bagels and so forth) and more importantly vegan friends (since most of the listed items involve milk, eggs, and hopefully I'm not offending anyone with my lack of knowledge about what is involved in certain types of diets.)

If anyone has any other breakfast dietary needs (sorry, "I am a bacon-o-tarian" is not an option unless we find very nice food sponsors) please let me know. We want to do the best to accommodate everyone.

Food

  • 8 Dozen Bagels + Cream Cheese (15.99/dozen): $127.92 - 96 servings
  • 5 dozen danishes (8.99/dozen): $44.95 - 60 servings
  • 4 loaves breakfast bread (6.99/loaf, 12ish slices/loaf): $27.96 - 48 servings
  • 5 dozen muffins (6.99/dozen): $34.95 - 60 servings
  • 5 Trays seasonal fruit ("serves 10" - $19.99/tray) - $99.95
  • Total: $335.73

Drink

  • 7 Gallons coffee (1 gallon = 20 6oz servings, 14.39/gallon): 100.73
  • 1 gallon hot tea "selection": $13.59
  • 2 gallons orange juice (10.39/gallon): $20.78
  • 2 gallons iced tea (6.39/gallon): $12.78
  • Total: $147.88

Canned Soda

Note that there is an option through ASU to have an organization (Red Hat!) donate food or drinks to a student organization or organization sponsoring an event. It is a piece of paper that has to be filled out and approved. In doing this, we can buy soda (or other food, but really, costs would be fairly similar) and provide that for ourselves, rather than paying .79 / can of soda. My total budget cost includes the assumed price of .79 cents a can through ASU until we can determine how exactly to go about "donating" drinks.

Buy on our own: 3 packs coke; 2 packs pepsi; 1 packs diet coke; 1 packs diet pepsi; 1 packs sprite; 1 packs mountain dew, 3-24 packs water. By my overestimates, we can buy canned soda at (worst case) price of $4/pack, and bottled water at $4/24-pack. Total cost here would be $40 for soda, and $12 for water, grand total of $52.

Buy through Catering: Would probably go a little easier and buy 75 cans of soda, and maybe no bottled water. 75 cans @ .79/ea = 59.25. I'll call it $60 for rounding.

Costs through Various Vendors

Several vendors are being considered, and final choice may depend upon ASU rules for catering.

Notes:

  • Food has been split out from beverage costs, in the event that we can have beverages "donated" (this will reduce costs greatly).
  • Trying to compare costs by having a similar menu from each place investigated. See above for "proposed menu."
  • Some places also have menus that have a basic per person cost. Those have also been noted.
