That is good.  Especially if that’s at least 10% of your total...

If it’s $50 online, I’d say $75 on Day-1 and Day 0 is fair.  

I think you could bump it up a week before and still be fair.  It might encourage people to book earlier, and that helps your number estimation for catering.

As a conference organizer, I don’t want to deal with cash on the day of the event.  There’s enough to do without having to provide change and keep record.  :)
