Welcome to this May edition of our catering and food newsletter.
No doubt you've probably heard on the news the weathermen predicting that this summer is going to be warmer and drier than in recent years. Event goers generally do not purchase as many hot food items during a very hot day but cold can drinks are bought faster than you can cool them. The problem with that is the profit margin on a canned drink is nowhere near that of a burger (unless you whack the price up excessively).
Therefore you need to make sure that you can offer a cold product with a very good profit margin to compensate for the lost sales in hot food. Soft ice cream or frozen yogurt is an obvious choice but not necessarily just selling 99s try higher priced strawberry sundaes. Another good seller with a good profit margin has to be any of the range of chilled and frozen drinks such as slush, shave ice, thick shakes, smoothies and iced coffees. So make sure that you have the right equipment and be prepared should it warm up.
