Precon:

• Organised bulk ordering, drew up list, contacted various suppliers
• Organised deliveries
• Contacted and organised staff for Staff Den, Con Suite and Green Room
• Worked with them, making sure they were on top of their plans,menus etc..

At con:

• quartermastered supplies,made sure everyone had what they needed
• got the damn soda in the hotel, and thanks to Jim for driving the truck

What went right:

• Great staff this year, they worked their butts off, were clueful and cheerful
• Everyone worked together really well
• Bulk ordering saved us big bucks
• Food was high quality, no living off m-n-m's
• All areas got good reports from their attendees
• the soda as a budget line item and a central resource worked well
• All the new spaces this year worked well I think they should all stay the same
• Staffing for all areas next year are already nailed downXXXXXX, I mean committed to work for various areas

What went wrong:

• I should not be staff den and quartermaster next year, this is already taken care of
• That soda order was a pain to get together
• Perhaps we suck it up and drink pepsi next year?
• Pepsi we can order thru the hotel and have them deal with delivery

Food division as a whole came in nearly $2000 under budget.

A significant portion of this money needs to be used for infrastructure. We need all new coolers. The ones we have do not keep food cold, and that is a significant health issue. Staff den and Green Room need a microwave each. If we want to continue serving more than chips and dip we need to keep the hot food hot and the cold foods cold. I've already priced out what we need and will submit it to whatever meeting this gets dealt with.

Vendors Used:
Sysco, Personal Touch Produce, BJ's for soda
