In other words no action was taken after the first contract expired even though it was recognised that the quality was poor. Surely if the food stalls were losing money then it would have been more sensible to find out why instead of out sourcing.
Yeah, but it's only footy fans and they don't count. They managed to serve decent food in the posh seats however. Fact is, the club lost money on catering because the fare was crap and they couldn't be ar$ed to make it better. Quality food doesn't win you 3 points on a Saturday. Cheapskates. |

The perfect post... until you used the wrong ‘c’ word as the grand finale! |

I wouldn't say it was a poor decision initially. The club were losing money on the bars and food stalls and outsourcing them for a fee meant the club got some money that they wouldn't have had otherwise. The problem was the quality was supposedly awful and something should have been done about that when the contract was due for renewal.
True.......that was the simple economic decision ....they lose money so outsource.. Not in the know like some maybe....but ......they lose money so why not review, revamp , consult with your customer and see if you can deliver a product that they might want, might buy and that you might make a profit on ? Depends on your mindset I suppose. |

I might be wrong, but didn’t Fenty respond to criticism of the catering by parading himself along the front of the Pontoon eating one of those chesseburgers? In other words, he knew fans hated what was on offer and acknowledged it, but basically flicked the Vs at everyone and intimating that if the slop was good enough for him, it was good enough for us plebs?
Again, could be wrong, probably not though.

He did a John Selwyn-Gummer, but on himself not his daughter like JSG. |

That's what I said... Just because I appreciate the reasons that things were done doesn't mean I think the right decision was made. If the food was excrement and people were complaining about it, then something should have changed. |

Travelling around I see the good, bad and ugly of catering. Ours is among the worst. Black coffee that resembles dirty water.
I do think the catering needs outsourcing though because making a decent offering profitable is difficult when it's only open for a couple of hours 23 times a year.
Customers are a fickle bunch and the poor catering on offer will actually impact the decision to attend for some.
