Shaved Ice Biz owners....

Do you do shaved ice parties or events? If so how much do you 
charge?

?

We do shaved ice for late spring and summer events. We haven’t done any parties yet. If we do we will probably come up with a flat rate and a time minimum. You could charge something like a flat rate for the first 2/3 hours and so much per additional hours. We also would not carry all the flavors we carry to the events and festivals. We have thought about setting up the shaved ice as a separate venture complete with a portable Tiki Bar that we can roll onto location. We do believe that there is a good market for this and plan to continue some research into it.

$200 minimum.
Not worth it for less with gas prices etc.
One guy thought that was too much and asked to rent the machine only. I told him $100. Still too expensive for him.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks everyone!
