Hi all
(Very) long time lurker/1st time (I think) poster.
I need your help.
I have helped a friend out in their bar a few times when they've been short staffed. I don't take wages as such - i just keep any tips I make, have a couple of drinks whilst working (& dp if he's around) and take a couple of drinks away with me. We are all happy with this arrangement.
The dilemma is that they've asked me to help them out at an outside catering function and the hosts have asked me how much I want to be paid.
We're not in uk (Southern Portugal where wages are very low) but the hosts are from a wealthier EU country where regular hospitality salaries are around 18€ per hour. I'm British and very good at what I do. Plus this a one-off event and they were pretty desperate. As a guide they are spending probably upwards of 2k€ on the party already. My friends are charging 10€ each ph (but they are hoping for a tip) and for them it is more of a goodwill gesture/business promotion. I believe they will also profit quite nicely from the food they are supplying too.
Aibu to ask for 20€ ph?
Thanks all in advance 😊
