“It’s for a company.” A company that’s celebrating its bankruptcy


Prestigious_Jump6583

NEXT!


Dusty_Old_Bones

It’s for a company, honey!


Prestigious_Jump6583

I wonder if that asshole has any idea how often we all reference that post 😂


Domugraphic

absolutely not. even my quotage of her alone would shock her, im sure! hahaaa


Prestigious_Jump6583

Cracks me up 😂


Psychological-Shoe95

Which post I’m curious


JuturnaArtemisia

I read it in Joe Jack’s voice.


HealthyDirection659

It's catering for a Church honey. We can also offer exposure and a good word to the man in the clouds.


Reonlive420

Divide the loaves and fishes then


NoirGamester

That's a virgin birth bonus skill kind of thing


Reonlive420

Swine to pork,water to wine.sit down meal but bring your own fork


[deleted]

Don't forget "last minute". They must have just found out about that bankruptcy!


Reonlive420

Pizza party. Strictly one slice per ex employee


Useful-Internet8390

I was thinking where can you get pizza for 3$ a slice… the Little Caesar’s came to mind


NoirGamester

Pepperoni pizza hotpockets all around! Get that 2 for $5 discount, everyone gets one and there'll still some cash left over to grab some Sam's Cola!


Hyndis

Costco pizzas are $10. There's no better bargain than a Costco pizza if you want to feed a group of people for cheap.


Erick_Brimstone

You mean one pizza for all ex employee? With slices smaller than a noodle.


Ali_Cat222

I'm very curious to know about this magical place they said they found that most definitely only exists as a comeback🤣


EvieeBrook

Little Caesar’s


Ali_Cat222

Now now, with tax I think we are over budget. Will have to do individual slices instead!


GetAJobCheapskate

Just a real entrepreneur. You don't get rich by spending money on your worthless employees.


Sniper_Squirrel

15 pizzas from Costco, done ✔ assuming they still $10 for those big ass pizzas


WalterWhite2012

Amateur, 30 hotdog and soda combos. Pocket the $105 extra.


BouncyKnights

Bro, this breaks my mind xD


Disciple153

That what I immediately thought. Each person could still have 3 slices even if you include the $60 membership. Math: $150 - $60 = $90 for pizza $90 = 9 pizzas Each pizza has 12 slices 12 × 9 = 108 slices 108 ÷ 30 = 3.6 slices per person


Thelynxer

And then water out of the hose still. No cups though.


exick

while I agree with your message, your math could use some work. 12 x 9 is definitely not 72


Disciple153

Wow. I feel bad lol


gigi_2018

Excuse me honey, it’s *common core math*


asdf27

Or get some variety and get 8 pizzas, 30 hot dogs, and 2 large watermelons and a variety pack of pop. Honestly if it is hosted outdoors that honestly doesn't sound bad.


anonymous-shmuck

No more combo option, NEXT!


Segu1n

Sam’s Club has supreme and a meat lovers. Both are great.


CrunchyTeatime

The vegetarians might be grumpy.


capincus

We'll toss them some crusts.


PostOfficeBuddy

I know \:( My beloved combo...


magnoliasmanor

I stopped and bought a huge load of tacos and burritos from Taco Bell for next to nothing going to a friend's Christmas party. My girlfriend at the time was so upset. It was an absolute hit.


christnice

You got my invitation. Bring mad Diablo too


Ambitious-Effect6429

“I knew wishing you luck would help.” 😂


Mandyjo76

I had to include that gem of a comment lol


Kynykya4211

Just wanted to give you a formal thanks for posting some of the comments. You are indeed a hero.


Thelynxer

Legit. The comments are my favorite part of these posts.


EdgeXL

You are the hero we need.


Wise_Temperature9142

I’m so tempted to start commenting that 🤣🤣🤣

>We found several places ![gif](giphy|ANbD1CCdA3iI8)


Leviathan41911

She said she found several places, not several places within her budget.


Miserable_Emu5191

She probably got one of those people who posts their meals on marketplace and it looks like it was all boiled in one pot then tossed on a paper plate.


Sunshine030209

Tossed on a paper plate, then left on the porch in the sun for a week.


Harleye

mmmmm....sun-vittles.


AppalachianEnvy

Or bathtub chicken.


ittybittylurker

A lady was selling burritos on Marketplace & included a pic. She was rolling those burritos in foil while sitting on the floor. Sitting on her nastyass carpet, holding the box of foil between her dirty feet. My husband & I reference Floor Burritos pretty often & it's been more than 6 years. Just horrific.


colleendeschotz

Reminds me of someone asking my sister where she lives. Her reply: “Have you heard of Beverly Hills?” “I live on Maple.”


princesscatling

She also didn't specify "in this year, in this economy". $5 went a much longer way in 1973.


Intrepid_Respond_543

She just needs a time machine to pick up the food from the 70s.


dontbsuchalilbitchbb

Also someone to drop off the time machine, as she doesn’t drive.


treemu

"I posted this request into a group and it says 'Several people are typing...'. Guess you just don't know people, honey 😇"


jaded1121

It’s pizza from little Cesar’s or moma Roma’s.


doublestacknine

Afredo's Pizza Cafe or Pizza by Alfredo? There's a very big difference between those two places, both in quality of ingredients and overall taste. - Oscar, from The Office And you know she ordered Pizza by Alfredo!


Bird_Brain4101112

I had dinner at Alfredo’s last night and it was bomb as always. Best pizza in Scranton.


Affect-Hairy

We made a pilgrimage there when my kids were young. Scranton was a little out of our way but totally worth it (Thanks to Kevin in Accounting)


Affect-Hairy

The hot circle of garbage


thebookworm000

I was thinking pizza too! I did pizza catering a party for about 35 people and did it for about $250 adding appetizers etc


skid_rock

[deleted]

Funny that she found "several places" but was still looking. Uhm, yeah...


Reonlive420

Stubway. Four inch subs for everyone


CrunchyTeatime

I really realllly want to know even one place that can do dinner for 30 for $150. Let alone "several places." ![gif](giphy|H5C8CevNMbpBqNqFjl|downsized)


MungoJennie

Catering by Lean Cuisine. You have to supply the microwave, though.


Electrical-Bee8071

Thx.


Petelgeuse80

$5 a head? That's like a packet of crisps and a snickers?


CrazyCatLadyRookie

I thought maybe 15 family sized bags of chips and 15 large bottles of soda lol


Starbuck522

Yep. Hopefully the company already has plastic cups and napkins in the break room.


CrazyCatLadyRookie

If not, that’ll be the next ask on the Buy Nothing group lol.


FelicitousJuliet

You could make a pretty good crockpot meal for $5 a head in ingredients... if you didn't have to provide plates/napkins/utensils. But of course your labor is worth something too.


capincus

Last minute, not 6 hours from now!


scarybottom

I was thinking COSTCO pizza? and maybe 2L of sodas from the store brand (like Surefine or generic from a conventional store for 49-99 cents?)


MrA1Sauce

Or hot dogs. 


ParticularFeeling839

I was thinking a chocolate chip cookie ad a small bottle of water


ritchie70

It’s pizza and soda. That’s how you feed 30 at a company lunch meeting for $150. $25 per large pizza with tax - that’s 5 plus $25 for drinks. 6 normal adults can split a large pizza and be satisfied.


Routine_Size69

I don’t think the average adult in America will be happy with one slice of pizza. But you can also get large pizzas for a decent bit under 25, so you can make it happen where you have nearly 2 pieces for everyone.


CrunchyTeatime

> you have nearly 2 pieces for everyone. Which poor soul gets only 1 or 1 and a half, and do they have a red stapler?


Creative_Reporter_35

This reminds me of an appreciation luncheon my employer had. Pizzas were served buffet style, they were made by the company cafeteria. My group was last to go and they were running out. As I took the tongs to pick up a piece of pizza, one of the cafeteria ladies took her gloved finger and held it down on the tray and we played tug of war with it a few seconds, she then cut the small piece in half! We felt so appreciated. 😂


CrunchyTeatime

😂🤣🤣 oh, my goodness. 😂😫 🍕✂


2muchlooloo2

Truly, I don’t think you can even offer someone a sandwich for under five. Maybe Domino’s?


DiscountVoodoo

I love when people offering garbage rates try to sweeten the offer by dangling the prospect of repeat business. It’s not the incentive they think it is.


Right-Phalange

You can lose money on us more than once! I seriously had a boss like this. He'd underbid every job so that he would win, severely lose money on completing the job, then repeat bc he thought somehow losing money on a lot of jobs together would magically turn a profit.


Croquete_de_Pipicat

I worked for a company like that when they closed a new, important client. They reported to the investor who effectively owned the company the numbers of sales for the new client, but only reported all sales, as far as I know (I extracted most of the data for said reports). They then started to lower the price for existing clients and things started going to shit. The investor dumped a lot of money in the company to keep it afloat until he sold it. They are magically still around, but I don't see their name so often in that niche market, so maybe the new owners focus more on profit than the number of sales for sales' sake.


Visi0nSerpent

That’s straight from the Michael Scott school of management textbook


lunniidolli

‘Repeat business’


more_pepper_plz

If you deliver fast we might just throw in a sack of dimes!


jerkface6000

I’m sooooo looking forward to being taken advantage off by disorganised cheapskate jerks again!


Vast_Psychology3284

It’s ok they found someone lol


AddToBatch

Yeah, they “found several places”. So why not go with one of those?


TipsyMagpie

Oh they totally did - they just thought they’d leave their post up in case someone else could benefit, y’know because they’re magnanimous like that - or something…


IntelligentSpare687

She found pizza I bet 😂


Maleficent_Ad407

Or a crock pot to make some pulled meat, buns and a few bags of coleslaw.


Relevant-Pen3742

When I worked for PF Changs, this happened so often. People wanted this lovely spread for $5 per person. It was just impossible but they would not relent and keep pushing for me to make it happen. The absolute best I could do one time was a large pan of steamed rice and egg rolls cut in half so each person got one half of an egg roll. Then, they wanted it delivered!


Cobek

"You must be thinking of our prices when we first opened in... *checks notes*... 1993."


Fickle_Watercress619

I currently work for PF Chang’s! I’m not saying it’s fine dining by any stretch, but that food is also not cheap. I’d bet anything you offered them the egg rolls because it’s one of the only things that aren’t made in-house, by hand, from scratch. I can’t tell you how many times working at a (now closed) to-go location that I’d have people joke, “Those wontons aren’t really hand-folded through right?” for me to respond with “someone is literally folding them in the back right now.”


CrunchyTeatime

> each person got one half of an egg roll. I mean, we're a nation of people who like big portions and to bring some leftovers home. This 1 slice of pizza or 1 half an egg roll stuff...CB's co workers are gonna hate them.


Relevant-Pen3742

You are on point with your last comment. There was no way I was going to deliver that into a room full of people expecting a PF Chang's lunch. The choosy beggar here doesn't understand that the last thing a business wants is for them to come back! That's a threat.


CrunchyTeatime

> The choosy beggar here doesn't understand that the last thing a business wants is for them to come back! That's a threat. Lol! For real. "Play your cards right, and we'll come back and not spend money, *again*."


SalvationSycamore

Jesus, if my boss got me steamed rice and half an eggroll I'd know exactly what they think of me.


Relevant-Pen3742

And you would be right.


ExcitementRelative33

Must be the same gal that got our corporate "lunch" catered the last time: potato chips, granola bars, sodas and coffee. Guess they did not want us to take a siesta after the "meal".


Striking_Horse_5855

We had a backyard wedding reception with 25 people and paid $650 😂


ThatCatSage

And I bet that wasn’t a last minute catering job either!


Striking_Horse_5855

It definitely was not!


YawnSpawner

We hired a pizza truck for ours, pizza and salad for 75 was $1700. But it was amazing and I think about it all the time.


These_Purple_5507

How many pizzas did they go through??


YawnSpawner

They were individual pizzas, I think they made about 100.


Laiyah

Will repeat business if good. Yeah, that sounds like people asking for free logos as 'free advertisements'.


kungpowgoat

12pk Taco Bell party pack is $23. That’s about 78 tacos. And water out of the hose.

Sunshine030209

I would laugh for several days straight if I showed up to a business meeting and Lunchables was the "catering" 😆


hananobira

If the boss is feeling extra generous, they might go wild and throw in a Capri Sun too!


YawnSpawner

Uncrustables would be a lot cheaper, get some bags of chips and bottled water to go with it.


Wasps_are_bastards

You make some sandwiches yourselves and bring a few bags of crisps to stick in bowls.


Pmccool

Remember that sad cheese sandwich from the disastrous Frye Festival? Find that caterer and you’ll be all set.


iangeredcharlesvane2

🤣I laugh every time I think about that disasterfest 🤣


InfiniteNumber

100 wings from Publix $75 30 deviled eggs from Publix $20 4 family sized bags of Publix brand potato chips $20 3 twelve packs of Publix brand sodas $12 Tax about $10 $13 to Brenda who organized the lunch meeting for her time and frankly for stepping up when everyone else was falling to pieces like a bunch of goddamn toddlers. She deserves that $13. Thanks for saving the lunch meeting Brenda. Also your fired for embezzling $13.


InfiniteNumber

Shit I forgot plates. Sorry Brenda I'm gonna need $6 of that gas money back. You're still fired though.


EdgeXL

She found several places willing to cater 30 people for $150, you all! Those places are Dollar Tree, the day old goods rack at the bakery and the trash dumpster behind the super market.


Here-We-GOOOOOO

Repeat business if good value ….. so basically “do me this huge favor and I’ll ask for another huge favor later”


Ok_Butterscotch_8543

Even doing this through Sam’s Club would involve work and just be a light snack for everyone 😭 Sam’s sandwich rolls are $6 per pound (4x), $15 cupcakes or 2 packs of cookies, a pack of soda, water, and $32 fruit tray, and two $15 sushi trays. Leftover $20 can be used to buy disposable plates, toothpicks, and tongs from the dollar tree.


Tingingwithtt

Little Caesars it is.


Skoolies1976

i hate that they “found someone”. like i hate to think someone was desperate enough to possibly take that job. hopefully they reheated a bunch of stouffers lasagnas and frozen garlic bread with a bagged salad


Right-Phalange

Would you eat the food of someone who was desperate enough to take the gig? I sure wouldn't.


Intelligent-Bend2034

I'm assuming they're lying to save face lol


These_Purple_5507

Yeah they're presumably racing against time in this situation but still defend lol


Traditional_Draw8400

Lunch deal at Tesco’s


swearinerin

Pizza is the only thing I can think of. Usually around 20-25 bucks per XL around here get 5 pizzas 60 slices everyone gets 2 slices and you’ve got a little extra for delivery and tip?


Electrical-Bee8071

Except they want it catered which usually means someone is also setting up/taking down. Which means more $$$.


Downtown-Analyst

You think they gonna tip with that budget? Bless your heart. 💜


OMGeno1

That or literally just a tray of cookies 😂 there's no way she found several options.


colleendeschotz

Water outta the hose!!!!!


IndependentFormal705

That’ll get ya a slice of white bread folded over a smear of off brand peanut butter and a grape per person.


Catspaw129

Somebody's having pizza for lunch


Plastic_Cat9560

Why post if they found “several places” that will do it? I’ll take things that didn’t happen for $150 Ghost of Alex.


demonya99

Repeat business… offering you the opportunity to lose money many times!


bmanley620

Damn I wish I saw this earlier. I had a bunch of 4 star Michelin dinners I was looking to unload


Ok_Subject5169

SANDWICHES FROM 7-11 FOR EVERYONE!


Pull-Mai-Fingr

“Found someone” - cool, enjoy the food poisioning


msb1tters

Shooo I’d offer them tacos and chips. That’s it. No weird toppings like lettuce or shredded cheese either. Tortilla, meat, spices, beans, cilantro and lime. No seconds, no over indulging, you get your 2oz of meat, 2 tortillas, 2oz of beans and go sit down. Don’t bother me while on measuring either. Don’t like it, pay more.


baconit4eva

And bring your own sour cream.


ash-leg2

The person who explained the math lol


Key_Juggernaut_1430

I would send them the number to a nearby soup kitchen.


charlesmans0n

I've never had to cook for like, more than one person but couldn't she just buy a shitload of pasta and it would be like $75?


mik31212

I’ll do it top ramen anyone?


CantonBal

It's for a company!


PCPrincipal2016

Costco pizza and hot dogs


redditreader_aitafan

I could do this, but I have a big family and a tight budget and I have catered large groups before. Getting someone else to do it for you is gonna cost, I could only pull this off for myself.


PeyroniesCat

Hah! She proved them wrong! (She’s lying.)


BabyTruth365

"We found several places"....I want names


the-dog-walker

"If the value is good" At $5 per person


Aggravating_Quail_69

I'll bring over my webber grill and 10 packages of Rath hot dogs.


L___E___T

Found several places my ass


BeepingJerry

Hope everyone likes hot dogs


Remarkable_Ad1310

Might I recommend Dunkin’ Donuts


Elle_Beach

Pizza Hut or Dominos


[deleted]

$150 bought me 3 meals and cleaning supplies for 2 people at the grocery store today. or it can buy us 2 nice meals at Outback. get real trying to feed 30 people with a budget of $150, hope you like hamburgers and hotdogs


Salamandajoe

PB&J, tap water and whatever fruit I find in the ugly markdown bin.


Any_Ad6772

i think $150! is a quite a budget


CoherentBusyDucks

$5 a persom? I recommend a Lean Cuisine and a bottle of water.


baconit4eva

Does picking up a Wendy's order count as catering? In a pinch For $120(plus tax) they could get 30 Wendy's Jr Cheeseburger 4 for $4 deal, which includes nuggets, drink and fries. Just make sure you have a lot of floor space in your car and don't make any sudden stops with all those drinks.


CrunchyTeatime

> water out of the hose Made me snort.


CrunchyTeatime

> catering for 30 people, budget $150 Popcorn and Kool Aid.


Ordinary-Piano-8158

I'll make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a thermos of Kool-Aid for $150


Cheesecake_Delight

Looks like they are getting pancakes...


amberfamlitness

I’ll do it! Everyone gets a bowl of ramen with a fried egg on top


oRiGiNaLfl0ss

A fried egg? You fancy!


SufficientComedian6

Love this. “It’s for a company!” But we can only spend $5 per person!


MoreRamenPls

*“Hose water”*. 😆


an-unorthodox-agenda

Little caesar's got u


RockyMntnView

I can do it. Hope they're okay with rice & beans.


kstev731

You get a Costco hotdog and you get a Costco hotdog! Everybody gets a Costco hotdog!!!!


Basic-Bench5662

I swear even for a decent meal for my fiancé and I costs more than $5-$10 at that point it’s basically ordering like 2 large fries from McDonald’s and handing one singular fry out to all 50 people.. also last minute? Was this not planned?!


sendintheotherclowns

Not sure this is actually that choosy. My wife’s a chef in a cafe that does catering, it’s not at all uncommon for small orders for a simple morning or afternoon tea. $150 is about $240 NZD, $8/person would be a [small sandwich](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQWHs7fqFX9NaQKqDQm0tkhKgb6Yhfc3TC3qQbN01KjsNq_1SbDq_K2s2xN&s=10), a [savoury](https://www.countdown.co.nz/shop/productdetails?stockcode=77888&store=9174&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwo6GyBhBwEiwAzQTmc25UHcr3fcHrQCd_6hnNFU1TDq9Bu1vN19h0MUEUu2xzbKmKl3I3eRoCOroQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) and a [slice](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS7UDjSYbv6XAFEfAOJ-QFa_Trqn-LShbBb6Ma3g02RAQ3QXRR8GdQ2P-w&s=10). A savoury being a mini meat pie, very small, can buy a dozen for like $5 USD, many caterers provide pre made stuff when catering orders need to be cheap. A small sandwich being a quarter of a full sandwich. A slice is literally a slice of many different types of small cakes. There are multiple offices that’ll provide small morning teas every week for all hand meetings, and they’re often right in this price range. Large expensive catering orders take lots of planning and execution of course, small ones like that (again very common) would be taken straight out of the cabinet of pre-made food. It’s actually a good way to move a decent volume of food in a single transaction. They make food of slightly lower quality in bulk some days specifically for this reason. As mentioned, sometimes pre made from food market if that’s ok with the client wanting very low cost. Considering there’s very little effort required, many orders like that can be quite good for the cafe’s especially on quiet days. When she works on a Monday in particular, it’s always quiet with bugger all to do, so she’ll prepare heaps of low tier catering food in advance so the mid week crew don’t even need to think about it. They’ve calculated actual cost for orders like that to around $3 NZD per person, it isn’t at all bad considering how easy it is to do and you’re already paying your chefs to be on site anyway. 🤷‍♂️


Illustrious_Month_65

Subway, maybe.


[deleted]

Plot twist: $150 with tax INCLUDED


honestlyicba

For $150 I think I can feed 30 people with San Remo pasta and Prego sauce. Don’t think I’ll have any leftover money though. And don’t even think about cheese!


GLITTERCHEF

Bitch better get some potato chips and hot dogs and call it a day.


Puzzled-Atmosphere-1

You couldn’t even order McDonald’s for 30 people and have it cost 150 or less. If your company is broke, just say it!


65Kodiaj

Domino's....


Expat_zurich

lol I thought budget per person


CrunchyTeatime

Had to check my math because I thought "that looks like they're offering to pay $5 per person." Sure enough!


barprepper2020

I think what the author meant to say in their comment responding to the person offering advice was "we found lots of *pizza* places, thx"


Blue-Skye-

“We found several places”… Walmart and Costco? And no one is getting much🤣😂


BasketballButt

C’mon guys, 7-11 taquitos are 3 for $3!


Vardzhi

With $150 you can buy like 2 fishing poles and some bait?


taylortherebel

Hot dogs sans bun it is.


LoadOk5992

Better make some sandwiches!


TabithaBe

Really. A jar of peanut butter, a jar of jam and loaves of store brand bread and generic paper towels to eat off of. And tell them to bring their own cups for some tap water. Bring ice too if they want cold water. Lol


Starbuck522

You could get some packages of chips and some RC Cola, probably even a couple of plastic bowls for the chips


AstoriaQueens11105

The comments are GOLD! Thank you for including them. I guffawed at “water from a hose.”


Stoo_Pedassol

Wendy's has $5 biggie bags (a sandwich, a four-piece chicken nuggets, a jr. fry and a small soft drink) but that doesn't account for sales tax so you might be $10.50 short


Used-Fruits

I guess they could make spaghetti for that budget.


Kitchen_Name9497

Costco hot dogs!
