Anyone who lives in Washingto d.c. area. Need review on Restaurants..catering?

Question

I'm organizing a lunch for thirty people and want to know how much is reasonable catering. Is $20 per person too much?? It is Italian food with only 1 maincourse and salad and bread sticks and a dessert. Once agian it is for thirty people?? Is it not enough. Because there are vegetarians too, I have to have a vegetarian dish? So 2 main courses salad bread sticks and a dessert for 600?? Is that too much money>

Answer 1

Are you trying to pay to have this catered or are you the caterer?

Edit - I would think that $20 per person is reasonable.  They are having to pay for prep of the food at their site, transporting it (equipment is expensive) plus service of it.  Then there's clean-up.  It may just be lunch but it's labor intensive.
