Doing the math, it would take him more than 15 hours to put one of those posters together for less than minimum wage. It's pretty straightforward stuff, so I kinda doubt that's how long it takes.
You seem to be suggesting that he charge the rate of a professional graphic designer, when he's said he messes around with Photoshop and has no training other than youtube videos. In other words, he's not a designer.
If you are going to charge pro rates, you should be a pro. If you are a guy who knows how to put a simple poster together, you charge accordingly. That number ain't a hundred bucks an hour.
I can't imagine he'll get very far asking for 1500 bucks to make a poster for a drink special.
My advice to the OP is get what you can, but don't expect that kind of dough.
(and fix the spelling of "location" in your first sample
