Certified Legendary Thread Roos lodge plans for massive Arden St upgrade

[Colby Cheer Squad]

A cafe could bring additional revenue and also work experience/hospo training through the huddle.

Do you know how many cafes go broke? It would more likely run at a loss.

Good work

No need to stop at just three trees though

Scorched earth policy

Chainsaw those trees to the ground and then hire Stan's Stump Grinding to remove all remenents

I'm there pretty much weekly and there is **** all people around.

I also know the club have run the numbers and it doesn't ads up.

It's a BigFooty meme is all.

I’ve never seen the appeal of a proper cafe at Arden St. As long as there are consistently food trucks around for the VFL/AFLW games I.e the times when people are actually around - that should be perfectly fine.

Something I’ve wondered about: is there any on site catering for players? After training lunches, that sort of thing? Do any clubs do that?

Wtf! We even have an espresso machine at the bee club to serve coffee on the one day a month when the market is on.

It cost nothing when your not using it. Power it up the morning of market day and stock aome fresh beans. As for a food servery even a match or training day kiosk is better than nothing. Virtually every country football club has said facilities.

Sure you can compliment it with food trucks and the like for variety but its a no brainier in my experience.

I’m not really the best person to debate this topic - I’m never there and am quite unlikely to ever be there. I would only say that as long as match days are being catered to a reasonable standard, I don’t think anything else is needed. No issues with people who feel otherwise.

A Cafe won't bring additional revenue, it'll cost us revenue.

Childcare in the new Arden precinct is the go

It's worth recalling we did try the idea with the coffee stand

Don't see too many go broke. Fitness is the other I would look at.

Jen spoke well, imagine been interviewed by Laurel and hardy

Particularly given most of their films were silent - would make for a very awkward interview.

Beauty of childcare is the govt subsidies. Fitness pretty saturated market as is but if we get first mover advantage aye.

Hospitality aka a Cafe is such low margins and high failure rate.
