Now that they "seem" to have fixed our food factory issues. I want to consult with some other chefs as to what we should be charging for crate food- petfood in particular. Really it seems it is a convenience for CH's as many are able to make Bofa treats etc , just do not want to spend the time doing it, or have to carry loose stacks. I have been getting several requests a day for this since week one hehe. I sell Bofa for pet food, since it is cheap ( tho i noticed yesterday it still had a 10% fail chance even now that I am Master chef???) I am putting 7 in a stack, 25 in a crate=175 treats per crate. When I made these manually, I charges 44c ea, not charging for anything over 5, which avg'd about 220c a stack, with the person normally getting 6-7. That breaks down to 31-36c per treat. NOW...since we are going to be able to supply 175 petfood, in a convenient carrying case ( think it takes 5 slots not positive) seems to me the cost should not drop just because it is not done manually anymore. Another Master chef ( I am on Radiant btw) said he plans to charge more for crates due to convenience. I was thinking of continuing my prev price of about 5500c per crate of Bofa ( 175 in crate) which breaks down to 31.4 c per treat. I keep going back and forth, that this is good, too low for what they get and the time it holds up my factory, and that they may see the price and not buy often, tho i know the last is unlikely. Several CH said 5-6000 was worth the convenience, plus lets face it, I don't fight, but I know CH can rake in cash no prob on kill missions. So let me know what you all plan to sell for petfood in crates please, and the prices you think are fair. :0) All my other foods are done by order only in crates, since ppl vary so much on what they want experimented up ( time, stats, amount) Thx fellow Chefs :0)

I used to give 20% discount for an order of 25+ stacks (all hand-made then). Now the same can be done with much less effort and space, so I am going to stick to this policy.
