AHello, I recently was asked to bake pies for a local restaurant, I really don't know how to price them as a bulk. I normally sell them at 15.00 each because I make them all from scratch. Can someone help me please with this?

If your pies are $15 each, drop the price for restaurants. Think of how much business you will have. People who eat your pie in a restaurant will want to buy a whole pie from you. $10 or $12 should be enough. A friend of mine does this and is very busy. Don't let the bullys on here tell you different.

It is a great way to get your business out there. Who knows, they might start wanting more than pies.

AThank you ladies for your help!

I will drop the price to 10.00 and see where that takes me... Once again thank you for your help!

Don't price them too low. I'd say $11.00. May I ask what type of pies you make?

AYes enga,

I make lemon merengue pie, coconut merengue pie, chocolate moose, These are the ones they asked me for but I also make cakes

This is the second really bizarre thing I've read from you today. Are you trolling?

All three of those sound delicious, lol. I was asking because the prices for some fruits and nuts can be so expensive. I cant believe that grapes are $3.99 a pound in my neck of the woods 

AWhy charge at all? Just think of all the business you'll have then! Seriously, figure out what it costs you for each pie and go from there. Buying ingredients wholesale in bulk may save you some money, but you'll be making more pies. You'll still be putting the time and effort in to making them. You will be using your oven more, utilities need to be factored in. Why not just sell the restaurant your retail price? They'll be charging by the slice, right? Probably at a MINIMUM of $4.50 per slice and possibly more. They'll make a nice profit. Don't sell yourself short. You decide what you need to make it worth your while.

AThank you all for your help and suggestions, I will take all of them into consideration!
