Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The VBCC is a large, high‑traffic facility; annual food‑service contracts for similar convention centers typically range from $1 million to $3 million depending on event volume, menu complexity, staffing levels, and ancillary services. Assuming a multi‑year agreement (2‑3 years), total contract value could be between $2 million and $9 million. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the client’s earnings on this single contract is $500 k–$2 million per year, reflecting operational costs, profit margins, and the scale of the venue.
