Hi Geoff,
Pricing is very personal and much of it needs to take account of the specifics of your business i.e. running costs and your cost of ingredients.
As a very quick rule, I’d work out how much your ingredients will cost and how much time you are likely to take (pay).
Combined they should come to 60%-70% of the price charged. How much you charge per hour is down to you.
This week’s live show was all about pricing. Here’s a quick summary which might help…
Good luck!
Kind regards, David
