Sausage sizzles can be tricky things to cater. Especially when you’re working on an unknown number of expected attendees at your event. But fear not! We’re here to help and have put together a guide based on recommendations from the sausage sizzle masters, Bunnings, as well as our fabulous readers and their experiences.
Keep in mind that the more you can get donated, or the better the deal you can negotiate, the more money goes into your bank account at the end of the day.
Some things to consider when ordering or purchasing will be:
We have devised a handy interactive calculator (we totally got our spreadsheet nerd on!) which can help you figure out how much of everything to order! It's in our Fundraising Whisperer's Toolbox which is free to access.
Hot tip - Where ever you get your onions from, ask for them to be sliced!!! You might have to pay a little extra, but trust me, it’s worth it. I speak from experience, having sliced 10kgs of onion for a sausage sizzle once. Goggles do nothing. Nothing I tell you!!!
Hopefully, our calculator will provide a good starting point, particularly if you don’t have previous event info.
And don't forget these ‘other things to remember’. You won't be surprised to learn that we have a proper, more comprehensive, checklist (and organiser guide) in our Toolbox :-)
