- **Steps/Checklist:**
1. **Calculate Costs**: Total the cost of all items included in the deal, considering bulk discounts on supplies.
2. **Define Markup**: Common practice is a 2-3x markup on costs to cover expenses and contribute to fundraising.
3. **Research Competitors**: Check local family meal deals; prices typically range from $20-$30 (e.g., a local Fireside Grille's starting at $21.95).
4. **Test Market**: Offer a trial period to gauge interest and price sensitivity.
5. **Adjust Seasonally**: Consider discounted pricing during lower attendance events to increase sales volume.
- **Common Mistakes:**
