Guide packet
Concession planning packet
How to put menu prices, inventory, volunteers, supplies, and closeout notes in one game-day packet.
Packet note
Treat the stand like its own little event
Inventory, prices, helper coverage, payment fees, and cash closeout all bump into each other.
A useful packet includes the menu, shopping list, shift plan, opening cash sheet, and closeout worksheet.
Packet note
Use last event numbers when available
Prior sales, top-selling items, and leftover stock are better than guessing from attendance alone.
If there are no records, start with rough counts and print notes for next time.
Packet note
Make it work on a phone and on paper
You may plan from a laptop and close out from a phone at a loud game.
Keep inputs short and outputs printable.
