CLUB STATEMENT: Catering being brought back in-house


Recommended Posts

club must think they can make money by taking it on .......lindley's were shocking so we obviously have to find a decent supplier who can provide better produce .if they can do that and keep the price competative with what we can buy outside the stadium then they should be on a winner ....

Do away with cash transactions altogether.

 

Everyone who is a season ticket holder or member has a card. Make available the ability to load money onto that card and scan it at the point of sale (with pre-poured drinks, while we are at it)

 

For those that aren't season ticket holders or members, sell the card without those details on it to anybody who wants one for £5 at the start of the season and they just top it up as they go.

 

Not totally for me, would be a mess for away supporters.

it would be a good idea for a quick till though.

They don't have working tills on the majority of kiosks so are supplied with calculators.

 

Of course, in an ideal world the club will now put in a new POS system than will allow for things like season ticket/member discounts and TeamCard loyalty points collection by scanning your card, etc.

 

 


yeah

That would have to be an absolute basic requirement for me

This is great news but as the statement says - be patient.

Catering is a biatch of an industry. 

Getting it right will take a lot of time. 

I'd even expect we won't see the full benefits til next season.

But I get the feeling when it's all in place we'll be enjoying the best in the league. 

DC doesn't seem the type to shrug his shoulders and say 'Be reyt. '

Damn good news and not before time.

 

Dont expect too many changes immediately as I understand that staff will mostly be transferred over to the club, but at least we can control things now.

I was impressed with Milton Keynes last year. Not sure if they do it in house, but to have the logo of the club on a pie is a nice touch.

Was in house 2 years ago when they got extra staff for big games off a catering company I was working for in the Midlands.

Primarily though, I reckon roger those plastic club stealing rumblezoids.

how does pre poured drinks work ....say if youve got 200 pints ordered at one kiosk they'd have to start pulling them a good 20 minutes before half time ,then you have 200 queing up to hand over there chit to prove theyve ordered one ......   200 teas or coffee pre poured they'd be a bit on the cold side if you copped for the 1st one .

It will be £18 for a pie and a pint before we know it

This is my immediate thought. Good idea to bring it back inside but we will only buy if the prices are reasonable. DC and JP have to realise we are yorkshire folk who want value for well earned money.

Goes for a widdle when Fletcher injured.

Queue at kiosk... FFS

Three pouring half a pint of Amstel into plastic 'glasses', well one pouring and two passing the plastic glasses.

No

 

Lad at beer kiosk offers to serve hot drinks

Yaaaay

 

Two teas please mate

 

'gets calculator'

'looks at price list/piece of paper'

'enters 2.30'

 

I said two teas please mate

 

starts again...

'enters 2.30, looks at price list and enters 2.30'

 

And a Diet Coke

 

starts again...

'looks at price list, enters 2.30...'

 

They are all £2.30 buddy...

 

'looks at price list, enters 2.30 and then 2.30'

'asks for £4.60'

'looks at me'

 

Not right mate, it is £2.30 times three which is £6.90...!

 

On the 5th attempt we got there...

'picks up calculator, enters 10.00 (not 10) and - 6.90'

'gives me £.10 and a big smile'
