Starting out, price near the lower end of the range, roughly $50 to $100 per board. Resist going below that to win work: a price that is too low attracts price-shoppers, signals low quality, and is hard to raise later. Once you have a few happy clients and reviews, move toward $400.
What affects how much charcuterie boards costs?+
The biggest factors are board size and servings; ingredient quality (artisan cheeses and meats); board vs. grazing table; delivery and setup. Two jobs that look alike can price very differently once these are accounted for, which is why a quick walkthrough or a few questions before quoting protects your rate.
