V18 LAN FOOD!, om nom nom nom feed me your thoughts! Options

[Tank]

Hey guys,

I have recently returned from Relaoded LAN, and have brought back with me some thoughts.

They have a shop thing that sold things like hot pies and hot dogs, and i was wondering if this sort of food (more substantial than chips / chocolate / muffin) would appeal to people?


I'm also welcoming of any/all ideas to make the RespawnCafe better! (including coffee! nomnomnom :3)

let me know! and i'll see what i cna do

Hot food sounds like a great idea.. though perhaps I can suggest that the "Respawn/Tank Cafe" is moved from the entrance to a larger area? I'm thinking perhaps near/behind the express check in that was at V17 (so you could just move it forward after say midday) or in the alcove as there appeared to be a large unused area at the top.

From last lan it seemed you were a little cramped and adding a pie warmer/hot dog assembly area is going to make you feel like you are in a shoebox

Coffee sounds like a good idea, but again maybe you can hire a coffee urn? The one i used to have held quite a few litres of coffee which ment refilling was a once every couple of hours.. definately ++ on the busy-ness as it means your not standing there for a half hour every hour refilling it.

On a side note: Have you thought of providing healthier options? I know 80% of people don't want to healthy foods but perhaps you could look into providing pack sandwiches/fruit salad? I'm fairly sure you could pick up the triangle sandwich packs fairly cheap and then its just a matter of making them the night before/during the day and popping them into the fridge. And Fruit salad is easy as!

And if you have the space, maybe respawn can provide a microwave next time? I don't know if one was provided at V17 but i know it would be handy as, not only for those that would like to bring their own food, but also for those who wanna make popcorn for movie watching

The only concern I see with that, whilst it could be done. Is the mess that follows. Lanner's tend to be a messy bunch, and the amount of rubbish on floors, split drinks etc makes it a little prohibitive. Particularly when one lanner nukes their easymac and leaves a god awful mess in the microwave because it exploded everywhere and left cheese all over the inside of the microwave.

Edit: Who cleans up after the lanner that exploded cheese in the microwave?

I know from experience that this will end in failure.

We gave people open access to a kitchen with a microwave at AWL once. Not a single surface in that kitchen did not have either cheese or salsa on it. and that was a 1 day event with ~50 people.


On a more constructive note, I'd like to suggest Up&go. breakfasty goodness.
