CJGJ Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Whilst we can discuss the quality and price what always seems to be forgotten is that there is no time for many of the fancy ideas some seem to want Baked potatoes or Paninis for goodness sake...it would take a couple of minutes to serve one of those at least. It's bad enough waiting in a Q for all those coffee drinkers at Sainsburys who think it's fine to take 3 minutes to get their coffee forgetting about others in the Q. We are not going to the local takeaway where we are happy to wait a few minutes for our food..it's quality fast food we need and that is limited to a selection that can be served in seconds not minutes. At half time seconds count in servicing the customer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaps Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 The steak pies aren't too bad although the only time I have one is when I've been drinking before the match. Helps line the stomach a bit.

Mars plastic Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Baked potatoes or Paninis for goodness sake...it would take a couple of minutes to serve one of those at least. And that's exactly why it's not viable. You have a very limited window in which to serve hundreds of people at a limited number of tills. You'll find that catering operations who are serving vast numbers want to serve a punter in a matter of seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mars plastic Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 You may have a point regarding baked tatties but panini's would be easy enough I'd think. Good post though. A panini can be pre made in the kitchen. It then needs to be stored and displayed at the kiosk. Somebody comes up to buy one it then has to be fired into one of those ovens that you see in Subway for 30 seconds. Food at the football needs to be on display ready for somebody to turn round from the till and pick up or from under the counter. a queue of 5 folk in Subway will wait, hundreds at the football wanting to get back to their seat for the second half won't.

Mars plastic Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 A panini isn't viable due to timescales but pies are? Pies are pre-heated. It would be nuts for the club to pre-heat paninis as they'll have umpteen different options. They'll end up firing unused stock in the bin.

Beats Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 How long does it take to get a Bovril or a tea to get poured.

I was told exactly the length of time but I can't now remember. You'll see the taps on the front counter of the kiosk when you're next there.

Stadium of Light has a capacity 3 times bigger than Tynie and obviously a far bigger footprint. Of course they can offer a far more elaborate menu. To give you an indication of size, the total spend of kitchen and servery equipment at the new Wembley was 10 million quid. Rangers also spent 2 million quid doing their kiosks up 4 years ago and Bristol City just spent ?750K on their new catering facilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highlandjambo3 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 I run a small catering business up north and, I attend outdoor events, Highland games, horse shows and the likes. Not sure what the baked potatoes are "non viable" as someone said, I sell these. Pre cooked then chilled for transportation to events. I then re heat them in a chaffing dish, takes about an hour to get piping hot, about 30 potatoes per dish (I fill up 6 dishes), variety of different fillings, ok it's about 150 odd potatoes. I also do stovies like this: ( I know there are different ways to do them but this is mine) Topside of beef cooked in a slow cooker for about 8hrs then shredded Baked potatoes scooped out Sliced onions dry fried ( basically poached in water until soft then continue cooking till the water evaporates) Bit ground pepper All mixed together with the beef stock left over from the joint No added salt, very low fat healthy food. Who'd eat that? What would u be charged for renting one of the small booths that lay empty? Quite small scale but I could ramp it up if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One, there's not enough hot storage available in the kiosks currently. Two, there's no space to display hot or cold fillings either. No offence, mate, but serving punters at the Highland Games who aren't in a hurry is exponentially different to serving punters at a football match in a 15 minute window.

No offence taken however, I did not suggest that I could feed the five thousand, I was simply making a point of variety. Add what I do to the curry house experience, X that by a pasta stall, pizza stall, haggis......etc and, you have more of a choice for punters. I would be surprised if the current set up could feed any more than 5k or so, I'd imagine most folk can't be arsed because of the queue, quality, price.
