No re-charging. Agency offering us 20k all in which is already being stretched very tight for up to three challenging days plus post production.
I get the maths, I just think 1000 per day is over the odds. For smaller shoots (10-15 people) I've done the catering myself and had great results for about 200 all in. Maybe 250 if hiring mobile cooking gear/urns etc. I get that that is cutting corners to extremes but adding 750 to that plus travel (quoted 200) doesn't sound like a deal.
CYOA
£1,000 per diem, broken down is £50 per head. The caterer has to provide the grub (say £10 of that) and facilities (say another £10). Then the caterer has at least two persons doing the work (say £20 for the two). Which leaves a possible £10 per head profit, not that much really.
Are you re-charging (with 15% handling fee of course) back to the client?
