How much lemonade do I need to make for 25 people?
Why do you think each guest will drink 1 or 2 glasses? Why not 3 or 4? Have you ever hosted a party with these same guests? Well, you can't just assume like it. You'll need to answer several questions: - What kind of drinkers are your guests? - How many adults will be attending? - How many kids will be attending? - How long will the party last? - Will the party be indoors or outdoors? - What type of food will be served? A spicy salsa with salty chips will make guest more thirsty. I think i have a bit more experience than you since i'm a party planner for almost 4 years by now and can tell that If lemonade is the only beverage served (or just other soft beverages, to make it clear), each guest is going to drink 3 glasses - adults and children - considering a 2-hour long party with average drinkers. Calculate it: always assume guests will drink 2 servings in the first hour and 1 for each additional hour of the party. If the weather is warm, expect guests to drink a bit more.
How much should lemonade cost at a stand?
Lemonade... I could really go for some right now! But to answer your question, I think if the lemonade is "high quality," then $1.00 would work, per cup. If it's really tart, and could use some sugar then 75 cents (per cup) is good because you still make a little something something! Haha, plus just to throw in a "professional" deal, if you buy one cup, the second is free! Hope I gave you some ideas :)

How much food for 150 people?
As a caterer I'd suggest you stick to all cold food. try to make as many dishes that can be made ahead of time. You really don't want you or your Mom or your good friends having to be in the kitchen all day. Some easy items are giant sandwiches or wraps made with large tortillas, flavored cream cheese with meats, cheese and lettuce. Pasta, potato or green salad. Strawberries and other seasonal fruit. If there is a microwave on site you can melt chocolate chips with heavy cream coated not swimming and make a chocolate fondue for the strawberries. Kinda a poor man's chocolate fountain. You'll need a chafing dish to keep it warm. Be sure to borrow or rent some of those giant coolers and use dry ice on the bottom to keep things cool. Because there is rarely enough fridge space anywhere you go when you have food for 150. Serve iced tea and lemonade rather than soda. Don't forget the ice, sugar and lemon slices plus some sweet-n-low. Flavored syrups like raspberry and peach allow your guests to personalize their drinks and add some variety. Rent a big punch bowl or beverage container for water. Bottled water is very expensive and don't skimp on cups. You need about 4 per person as the guests abandon them because they can't figure out which one is theirs. If you'd like a cheese appetizer consider making a pesto torte with softened cream cheese mixed with Parmesan cheese and black pepper molded in a large plastic wrapped lined bowl. Fill with purchased basil pesto cap with some of the cheese mixture and top with store bought sun dried tomato pesto. Serve with crackers or sliced baquettes. This dish holds up well in the heat, looks pretty and is alot less expensive than a cheese platter. You could add sliced salami and some black and green olives too. I hope this gave you some ideas.
My son started a lemonade stand. In his weekend of selling (I was gone on work trip) he made $1200. We live in a nice neighborhood, but still seems like too much profit. Should I be concerned?
In a single weekend, your son made $1200 from selling lemonade.If it is an affluent neighborhood, there’s not going to be enough people to pull in that many sales. The average price of lemonade from a lemonade stand is about 25 cents.Let’s say in an affluent neighborhood, this goes up to $1 per cup.Your son would need to sell 1,200 cups over 2 days. or 600 cups per day, or 60 cups per hour, every hour for 8 or 10 hours every day over two days.A single suburban street houses roughly 30 families. all the members of those families were to buy a cup every hour over two days, he could do this. Chances are likely this is not happening.There’s only 2 ways I could see him making this much money.He’s selling each cup at $5. I doubt even rich people will be that charitable.He set up multiple stalls that cover a dozen blocks. If he’s solo, he’d need to hire or trick other kids to man these stalls for him, then get the actual product made and regularly supplied.#2 might be possible; though unlikely.In a low traffic, affluent neighborhood, if he’s making $1200 on lemonade over the weekend, I’d say your son was selling drugs on the low down; or he’s pimping, or he sold one of your expensive stereo equipment - the ones you only rarely use so won’t even know it’s gone until a year later.
How many Gallons of tea for 175 people in 16oz cups?
Oh yah and Lemonade? I am getting Married in July and I am thinking I want to do Tea and Lemonade since I am doing the BYOB thing for alcohol. I am just not sure how many gallons of Tea and Lemonade I will need. And should I have unsweet tea as well. My parents are doing all the cooking since they wanted to but I am purchasing the drinks. Or should I just not do tea and lemonade and do Soda instead?
My 9yr old wants to sell lemonade in our lawn for 25c. I wont allow him but would he need a permit for this?
Not allowing your 9 year old to voluntarily sell lemonade from your lawn is not a very smart thing to do. If your kid thought of it and has the intention and desire to do it of his own free will then you are doing something detrimental to his inherent spark and enthusiasm to be entrepreneurial. If more kids could think like that then we wouldn't have so much unemployment. What he is proposing to do is the basis of perhaps the training and formation of a future successful business person. So he'll start with lemonade but when is a little older it could be anything with a bigger mark up like pots and pans, crockery, cutlery, electronic items and so on. By the time he is 16 it could be cars and at 19 it could be real estate. Don't throw a wet blanket on his aspirations. Kids like that become the power packed business people of the future .Hope I've given you food for thought.
