Dear Brethren,
My Catering compnay finished with the Morro Bay Harbor Festival. Huge success but only Sunday...
Got there Friday at 3:00pm. I loaded the uHaul by myself and unloaded all my gear. I setup and left the area about 6:30pm. I was pretty tired. I couldnt sleep Friday night Saturday morning... so got up at 4:30am and started my day. Low and behold it started to sprinkle about 6:00am. We left for the event at 7:00 and at that time was raining.. We arrived at 7:30 to find the area completly saturated with water. We were on a slope and had a nice puddle between the pits and the tent. We finally got the water off the gear and started to prep for the day. Started serving at 10:00am and It started to rain again... Oh well... we kept going! The HD came by at 10:30am - bright and early!!! We were ready for them and passed all categories! (meat temp in coolers, warming/holding temps, wash, rinse, sanitize ph levels, drink cooler temps, etc)
It rained pretty much all morning until about 2:00pm. Event lasted until 6:00pm but the majority of people made plans... Was a very slow and wet day.
Sunday morning was much better. I woke up about 5:00am a bit more sleep but not much, I was into the gig for a bunch of money!!! :icon_smil
Started selling food at 10:00am HD came by again this time at 10:05. We passed again and off to the races we went!
Fire department came by around noon... Offered him a Tritip sammy he thought it was a bribe! ahahhahah Anyway - all my pits were fine, and I had my fire extinguisher... so he left and was content with our setup!
The event was like mini San Francisco. Tents basically 2 inches apart from each other... It was tight...
We were battling with the local GAFC (Great American Fish Company) They kept yellin TRITIP SANDWICHES... we rebuttled SMOKED TRITIP SAMMIES!... I would then callout EACH TIME we sold a SAMMY!! It was great... We heard them in the morning, by mid afternoon, you only heard our calls till closing!!
We served = Breakfast burritos, Hot dogs, Cheeseburgers, Soy Burgers, Chicken Ceasar Salad, Grilled mushrooms/onions, Chicken sammys, Tritip sammys, Brucetta, Nachos, Chili, and drinks!
Line was constant around our tent, neighbors were pissed! :mrgreen:
We ran specials all day and slashed our prices at the end!!
Im sorry I dont have more pics but the patrons came in pefect sets of waves... Huge ordering, then just enough for me to start reprepping then a new rush.. Wa like that all day... We once had 25 tickets up at once with all Tritip sammys (my biggest money maker) :twisted:
The Eatery accomplished this event with a 3 person crew in the morning and a 5 person crew the rest of the day.
Sunday we pulled out all the stops. Had to make some money, and a bunch of money at that... We made flyers and handed them out, we had sandwhich boards pointing to us. We even had return customers!! KICKARSE!!
All in all was a fun and stressful time. :!:
