Wholesale costs for many food items, I.e.: chips, cookies, gummy bears...etc.
Wholesale costs for disposable items, I.e.: cups, napkins, ...ect.
Packaged Deals i.e.: "gourmet package" includes certain items from wholesale list whereas a
"Budget Package" would include a different list of items from the wholesale list.
Package price would be marked up from the wholesale costs.
Many packages would be offered.
Package deals would be based on a per person fee for whatever package client has chosen.
>Client would be aware of package prices only and not any wholesale prices.
Client will be charged extra fee for using more than the per person allotment.
We must be able to put together a useable list of each package offered so client could see what he is paying for.
Travel cost to be added to package price if applicable
>Storage cost to be added to package price if applicable
Logistic cost for setup and maintenance based on difficulty of location i.e.: desert, ocean, or
warehouse added to package cost if applicable
Per hour labor base price
We would need to be able to track costs and profits
