Sounds to me like you need to charge about 10.00 per person on a buffet like you described, plus rentals (such as china, glassware, flatware, chafers, linens, skirting) It is up to him what rentals he wishes you to used. In my case, I offer the client a choice between china and disposables, but never when it may taint my reputation. At 75.00 per person, he should have china. not necessarily fine china, but "real plates and silverware and glassware"
Remember, he asked you what it would cost. Tell him, be firm!
If you need any advice or assistance with doing this event, please feel free to email me or post here.
Best of luck!
