Meeting with club board

The problem the club have always had with this approach is that by definition you'll always have on average 2 weeks between home games. This means that you have to either order very precisely and leave no waste (notoriously difficult to do, you'll usually end up running out and pissing people off) or you have to buy in cheap crap like we have done in the past so that it can be easily frozen while we wait for the next home game. (stale burger buns anyone...!)

The reality is that you will end up throwing stuff away and that eats in to the profits. The only way to counter that is to put the prices up...!

The reason the catering is outsourced at present is to guarantee a revenue for the club without exposing them to the challenges of stock management. The people that supply the catering cater for multiple events, so if they don't sell what they have with us on a Saturday, they can always offload it at whatever event they're doing on Sunday. 

I think the club are well within their rights to mandate some of the prices. There would surely be other catering providers that would be quite happy to do the job with a slightly lower margin if the incumbents weren't too keen.

Or the club could always reduce their fee, but then I'm not sure that I think they have to.
