Fall festival is over!! One less thing to worry about. We should have done better than we did, but I learned a lot about how to run/plan for a concession stand. I think if I have to do it again next year, things will turn out better. If I did my numbers right, we made what I figured we would.
Things I learned -
Get your info ASAP on when it all goes down.
Get donations for food/items u need.
Reconsider setting a higher price for larger items (ex. the soft tacos we did were bigger than expected and we could have charged a dollar more and it would have made sense.)
Frappacinos/specialty drinks should have their own booth.
Go ahead and sell chances if possible.
Cut up lettuce, etc the night before or earlier in the day.
Soft tacos sell well. 20lbs was not enough.
Toffee sells very well.
Less cookies.
Sell cokes too. Not too many but have some on hand.
I'm sure there's more that I picked up or would hve picked up if I worked all the stations but that was quite a lesson. Luckily we did make some money so it wasn't a busy. I think it can be better next year. Ok. Laters
