Not sure if this is the correct forum for this but here goes.
It's been a couple years since I first bought my WSM and have only been selling my "leftovers" to co-workers, friends, and neighbors for barely over my costs.
Recently though, I gave a small gift bag of pulled pork to our receptionist and he in turn let a guy who owns/operates a food truck sample some. The dude loved it and wants to partner up with me.
I ended up giving him 15lbs (at cost) just to see what kind of interest there was and he sold it all in three days, so the interest is definitely there. (dude made a huge profit I might add)
Needless to say, I now have a standing weekly order to deliver 20lbs of pulled pork for him to resale on his route...if I want the business.
Is this legit or do I need some kind of license for this?
What kind of pricing should I charge? I can buy raw shoulder for about $1.40 or less around here and so I'm thinking somewhere around $7.00 per pound.
Any kind of advice would be greatly appreciated.
