SCSC Food Sales

On the 16^th of August 2012, SCSC held a one-day Food Sales. We were selling hand-made sushi, hot from the pan fried ice-cream and freshly baked colourful-designed cupcakes. The food sales were held at the Energy Hub from 9.30am till 2.30pm where the newly joined members were here to help to run the food sales. Besides, this was eventually a great opportunities for the new members to be able to bond with the senior members and had fun together.

We arrived at the booth at 8.30 which was well-decorated with effort the night before the food sales by Netty, Mona and their friends. 

Upon waiting the other members to arrive, we started to arrange the cupcakes toppings, fold boxes, roll sushi, and heating up the oil for fried ice-cream. At the beginning, the sales was not going well, maybe most of the students were having classes. Surprisingly, sales were increasing around 12.30pm where we sold out all of our sushi. We expected to sell more since the demand for sushi was high unfortunately we are running out of rice and mayonnaise to make it. There was a customer suggested to sell sushi with ‘wasabi’.

As the sales were going on, the cup cakes and fried ice-cream begin to be selling fast and we also received good comments on the fried ice-cream, especially the chocolate flavour. Some VU lecturers also complimented on the delicate decorated cupcakes with the rainbow coloured icing and various toppings such as marshmallows, jelly bean, choco chip and frosty sugars. A few seniors with experience in food sales walked around the campus persuading and promoting our food. Besides, the junior were quite helpful.  As time passed, the cupcakes were sold out and so as the fried ice-cream. The food sales closed at 2pm, earlier than what we expected because we sold out all. Indeed, all our food was yummy and tantalizing. As quickly as we could, everyone cleaned up the booth and packed up all the equipments.

By then, it ended at 2.30pm. The food sales were a great success, with great teamwork and great effort from all SCSC members! Ms Greeja, the head of department also suggested us to organise another food sales next semester.
