Original Beef Sticks

Based on the size of your group, you can determine how much you should order as well as calculate your profit. You will qualify for pricing discounts based on the size of your order. We suggest providing 1-2 totes to each student. Each tote contains 50 beef sticks.

To find out how many cases you should order, multiply the number of students in your group by the number of totes that you want them to sell. Then take that total and divide by 8, since there are 8 totes in a case.

Let’s look at an example. A sponsor with 56 students wants everyone to sell 1 tote each:

56 students x 1 tote / student = 56 totes
56 totes ÷ 8 totes / case = 7 cases

Since each tote contained 50 beef sticks, and there are 8 totes in a case, that means that 400 beef sticks / case x 7 cases = 2,800 total beef sticks would be sold. Each beef stick sells for $1.00, so the gross sale would be $2,800.00. The group would ended up making $1,120.00 because they'd receive 40% profit.

7 cases x 400 beef sticks / case = 2,800 beef sticks
2,800 beef sticks x $1.00 / beef stick = $2,800.00 gross sales
$2,800.00 x 40% profit = $1,120.00 profit
