What we usually do is to figure out approximatley how much, per head, the feast
will cost to prepare. Then that amount is added to the site cost/person and a
little extra for extra stuff (prizes, etc) I prefer to be consulted on the
amount per head to charge, though I have had the occasional autocrat tell me
how much he was allowing me!
Another thing that will affect the cost of the feast is the type of feast it
is. A feast that involves a lot of ingredients that are difficult to locate
will typically cost more than one using standard stuff. For example, my
Festival of Kites feast cost about $2 per head more than the upcoming Eastern
European feast, because of the cost of ingredients!

I don't charge for gas and tolls, even though I have to drive at least 35 miles
to get to where I purchase most of the supplies for my feasts. What I do
instead is to deduct them from my income tax as a contribution to a non-profit
organization...including mileage from my home to the site!
