Today was a good day. We had our first meeting since we went on break and we also went on a productive adventure to find suppliers like we did a few weeks back.
In our meeting we cut down our menu and decided we will only be selling burgers along with donuts and some other pastries. Our thinking behind this was to keep it as simple as possible. One of our failures of the first Cake Sale was that we were trying to do too much without the adequate manpower. And now with less core members we need to dumb down the process although we will be getting some much needed help on the day in the form of 4 chef students. We did, however struggle to agree on the number of burgers we want to sell with Deon wanting to play it safe and me wanting to go for the kill. It was a little weird negotiating with my own team member but refreshing at the same time. But we came to a reasonable conclusion.
After our productive lunch meeting we went driving around going to different suppliers to compare prices and deals and this proved to be a good move as we found a cheaper supplier of bread rolls and pastries than the one we used in our first Cake Sale. It felt good to be out there on the 'streets', once again, hustling as a group.
