Budget estimate

$2,000 – $5,000

For a 50‑person buffet with staffing, linen, and cleanup, typical per‑person costs range from $30 to $50, yielding a base total of $1,500‑$2,500. Adding service charges, gratuity, tax, and the optional dessert line could bring the overall contract value to roughly $2,000‑$5,000. The estimate assumes moderate menu pricing, standard staffing levels, and standard Minnesota tax rates.
