Don't take offense at my answer; I've owned an off premise catering business for over 20 years. Food costs what it does; it's not that different in any part of the country, but outside of New York, where I run my business, it's extreme. Waiters get paid over 20 bucks an hour, and even at that it's hard to find them.
