  1. Public Discussion
  2. Mariah: make a 1% more profit?

Darren: reservations about profit-driven model, coho always stood for being a service for students, keeping costs as low as possible. If we do what we should be doing and we’re doing everything effectively, then we should make money. I don’t think we should look at it as a profit-driven model.

  1. Gareth: thanks for Coca-Cola.

Darren: asked to do a beverage agreement, made a decision to not participate. We are here to serve customers, not to make money. A lot of debate on financial benefits anyway.

Gareth: You are aware of CoHo south lines. What steps are you taking to relieve tension in space?

Darren: not a lot we can do besides be efficient. Never ask employees to rush. Make it right and with a smile. The space is limited. Ultimately, we are seeing great numbers, and we’re seeing happy customers.

  1. Watson: Did we solidify space in International Student Center? Sodexo or us?

Darren: Not confirmed. Janice sent email to DCM, no answer.

  1. Chung: How’s catering service?

Darren: Fairly good, 50k a year. We’ve made a conscious decision to not dive headfirst into the catering world. Unless we bring on more staff, catering is a big job.

Chung: Lots of clubs don’t know CoHo caters

Darren: We don’t want to market it too much.

  1. Huey: I noticed when I use card, they don’t check my ID.

Darren: Never obligated to. Visa doesn’t even recommend checking ID. Even if they don’t have an ID, we are still obligated to serve them. Not something we’re allowed to enforce.

  1. Gupta: You mentioned that sales are up, price increase. Ever see prices will go down?

Darren: No. Don’t know where we’ll be at the end of the year. Food costs continue to rise. As a food service operator, reducing prices is really never done. 14% more sales = 14% more food. If we made 150k at the end of the year, I’d have to look at it again, but we’re spending a lot of money right now. We didn’t raise money until September. We need these good months.

  7. Casey: FAHC event.
  8. Chung: SFAHC meeting. Can’t make it. Can someone go in my place?
