The Chuckwagon Menu
Hearty, fire-cooked meals for the modern cowboy.
The No-Markup Promise
We believe in straight-shooting, honest food, and honest pricing. While most caterers mark up food costs by 300%, we operate on a strict "At-Cost" Model. You pay exactly what it costs to make the event happen—no hidden profit margins.
Where Every Dollar Goes
You pay the exact retail price for groceries. We do not mark up the brisket, butter, or beans.
Promise: We provide digital copies of all receipts. If the steak costs us $20, it costs you $20.
A flat hourly rate covers Cindy’s time cooking/crafting and any staff needed. These fees go directly to paying wages. The business entity takes $0 profit on top.
A flat fee covering our third-party logistics provider for vehicle use, fuel, insurance, and transport of heavy equipment (warmers, trays, tables).
The "Why" & The Catch
Why run a business without profit?
Answer: We are in a "Portfolio Phase." Our goal isn't to maximize catering profits; it's to maximize exposure for the Cowboy Wife brand.
The Trade-Off
In exchange for premium catering at production cost, we require permission to capture content at your event.
- Filming Cindy cooking
- Filming setup & buffet line
- Posting to TikTok/YouTube
Rest assured, we respect your privacy and will not film private conversations.
