It all depends on what state you live in, how well you market yourself, who you market to, and how many events you book. Generally caterers charge 3x the food costs for an event. Subtract the cost of equipment and money paid to assistants (if you have any). Obviously the fancier the food is that you prepare and the bigger the event is, the more money you will make.

As the owner of a catering company or as an employee? As the owner of a company, you generally charge 3x the price of the food that the client wants, then pay employees if you have them based on the minimum wage in your state or more. As an employee of a catering company, you will get paid minimum wage or higher and very rarely you will make tips.

Depending on the company you're with, or the client, it ranges from $15/hour to $20/hr. If you're lucky, you can add on tips but that's usually not the case with large events.
