FOOD FAIR

The Food Fair

The food fair was held during 19th August 2011 at Energy Hub. There were 6 cartons of J.Co Donuts which had a total of 72 donuts and they were sold for RM 3 each. Not only that, the booth also sells Gelato ice-cream which is new in market therefore it is based on consignment basis. The Gelato ice-cream is sold in varieties of fresh fruit flavours and each cost RM 4 for the delicious gelato. All these Gelato were hand made therefore, the taste of the ice-cream is fresh served.

The team arrived at 9.am to set up the booth for the food fair and we started to sell all delicacies at 10.am. Firstly, the sale wasn't as good as expected and not encouraging at all, because due to the less time spent of student in Energy Hub. Aside from that, students are also busy with friday morning gloomy class. Thomas and Yong collect the donut from J.Co Donut in Sunway Pyramid early to get ready for the booth later. The preparation of the booth take up sometime for the team to get ready. Upon meeting up with such circumstances where sales is not done at anytime, Thomas and Yong decided to take the initiative to bring the food to potential buyers instead of waiting for them to come over to visit our booth where it will take sometime to increase the sale.

Later, Thomas suggest that we should sell around the cafeteria by carrying a plate of donuts and ice cream around to make some good sales. While Thomas is doing the sale, Yong is providing free delivery and money collection from the poitential customer, because of the free delivery, our sales increased in no time. This is because students did not attracted much to the posters pasted around the school and lecture hall. As time goes by, the sales not only goes around student but also lecturer's office as well as the AUP Office and foyer. Ms Irene have been the most supportive due to the most sale is made from her. She bought a whole box of donuts. The ice cream sale was not attractive and eye catching, therefore, our team decided to purchase the ice cream themselves as a support to the club. The food fair ends at 3.30pm.

Dring the next meeting, most of the committee members agreed that the price of the Gelato ice cream is a quite pricey and Yong suggested the we should consider in implementing a new price for the ice cream in the future. Cheap price are the main attraction for the sale because our target buyers are mostly students. All committee members were committed and done a great job to make this event a success. Certainly with the help of President of SCSC club, Ms Daphne Wong to get authorisation for this event.
