Food Sales

On the 24^th of April 2013, SCSC held a one-day food sales. The food sales was held at the Energy Hub from 10:00 am till 4:00 pm. The food items sold were all home-made which consist of sushi, fried ice-cream, konnyaku jelly, chocolate chip pecan cookies and 2 types of cakes, biscuit crusted cake and chocolate chip walnut cake. 

All the members of the committee members participated in this event where some of the members were in charge of different food items.

Tables and chairs were carried and moved to the Energy Hub the day before hand by all the muscular guys namely Jeff, Huan Xiang, Gui Sheng, Kae Shen, John whereas the board was decorated by the talented artists Crystal, Shang Ping and Caryn.

On the day of the food sales, members who are staying in the hostel, Huan Xiang and Jeff were asked to come to the campus by 8:00 am to help out to carry the food items from the car to the booth and to the fridge. Other members slowly arrived one by one to get ready for the big day ahead. While waiting for the other members to arrive, Ashley and Gui Sheng were busy preparing and rolling the sushi behind the board.

Making sushi

Due to the efficient team work of displaying food items and preparing boxes for cakes, we were all prepared before the opening time. At 10 am sharp, we started our food sales with a cashier and recorder for each session which was appointed the day before. The food sales started out a little slow as it was still early. However, it picked up pas when lunch time was arriving. 

In the process of the food sales, many of the committee members took turns to walk around to sell the food items in the lecturers’ office, the AUP office and the students around the campus.

The hot selling items for the day were our special fried ice-cream and sushi. The fried ice-cream was sold out in the first 2 hours and customers came back for more even after it was sold out. They were very sad to find out that it was all sold out. Sushi was such a hit that we had to cook three batches of rice on campus to fulfil the taste buds of the customers. Customers gave very good comments on the sushi such as it was unique and delicious due to our special prawn paste included. Some also suggested us to put more mayonnaise as it was not enough. The cookies also got much attention from customers and they commented that it was very delicious. The rest of the items slowly picked up pace. We managed to end our sales by 3:30 pm after everything was sold out before the expected time.

Throughout the food sales this semester, we learned many lessons where we now know that the role of a cashier and a recorder is extremely important both to us and also the customers in order to be more organised. All the members had a wonderful and enjoyable time although we had a little trouble throughout the whole day.
