i have just recently started my own bbq sauce business..Eight Flags Sauce Co...right now i have only the mustard based sauce available, but i do have a sweet red sauce recipe all ready to go. this sauce company is legit with the state of florida and i also have a federal tax id #.
i have it in several local shops and it seems to be doing well....already had two repeat case orders...
this is my question...a local bbq resteraunt is under new ownership and i was referred to him to try my sauce...the new owner is a former employee of another resteraunt about 50 miles away...i tryed some of his sauce and it is very weak and a kick off of his former employer...he tried some of mind and he really liked it alot...he wants me to make a 2-3 gallon batch for him to put on his table with my labels on the squeeze bottles that he uses...he also said a great possiblity exists for over the counter sales of my sauce in the 12 oz. bottles that i carry...i plan on guarding my recipe closely and would like some comments from any...also what to charge for my recipe and the labor to make the sauce per gallon...i believe it is an excellent way to get great exposure for my sauce and to also jumpstart the red
ANY COMMENTS AND IDEAS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATE!!!!
