The food and drink service inside Goodison

Two pints pays more than their hourly wage, so Everton should be making sure the service is excellent with the profits they make, but the actual staff have always seemed good, they seem to do the best with what they are given to work with.

Problem at virtually every ground I've been to tbh, including Wembley.
I've worked a lot of bars over the years, it baffles me that they don't line up stacks of 3/4 filled pints before the main rush then top them up, just have some staff dedicated to doing that, some dedicated to finishing and serving. You know roughly how many you'll be knockin out and over what time. Basic bar management.

Festivals are a great example of this working - you'd expect major queues at the bars next to the main stages just before headliner times when everyone's there and honestly I don't remember queuing any longer than a couple of months at any festival in years.

Obviously they have good sized bars, not little huts like the bullens road.

It works well at city, they just have loads of food places so wherever you come out only a couple of blocks are using it. Compare that to the bullens where the lower and paddock are all using a couple of small bars it shows how far we need to go.

Does anyone know when the catering contract runs out? Surely now we don't need the guaranteed income to stop us going out of business we can bring it in house

Mate it's the dream, imagine yourself floating out of a coffee shop and falling into one of these places. Iv woke many a morning back in my hotel in a bed surrounded by empty FEBO wrappers filled with a feeling of regret and self disgust

I'd have the good people of Pogue Mahones in specially to maintain the pumps. What's the point of having a little money if we don't spurge out on the finer things in life
 
I've covered this before so here goes again.. If you want to "lock people in" - i.e. get them in early to spend money - you need to offer them a good product at a good price. This means:

1. Food that is presentable at a comparable price. Once you try a p**s poor instant coffee (or tea) for around £2 that you could have bought for £1 outside the ground (better quality, half the price) you'll not do it again. Ditto on a train - you'll take your own in. They may stop you bringing in a bottle of coke etc but not sarnies and a flask (as far as I know). Same with the beer - most sentient human beings - even those who drink 3-4 before and 3-4 after the game might give Chang a miss at these prices (or not too many) and let's be honest many of us find it unpalatable.

2. Hot pies eh? Tricky?

3. Ready made, decent sarnies or cake? 40,000 people and they only care about the 1-2,000 hospitality people who pay a massive premium for their product. Many of the other 35,000 might fork out a fiver a head if the product was any good. Went to Highbury a few years ago and they did fancy bagels at a fair price (London prices notwithstanding).. the people who make these decisions don't spend any time seeing what we go through to get crap drink and food - the board are too into the Everton Golf Club afternoon out.

4. What's the deal now with the new Betting Partner - is it still lousy odds? What about the TVs in the concourse?
