Sports day cafe

 

Sports day Café

The sports day is being conducted 3 times in Bina Tunas Bangsa School this year. It is held on 21^st -22^nd of September and 1^st of October 2015. During the sports day our grade 11 class decided to make a café booth to serve all of the students and even the teachers with savory foods. We divided the tasks with grade 12, where we serve food and the grade 12 serve drinks. The purpose of this booth is for charity donations, the idea of raising funds. Within the 3 days of sports day, the café booth is held on the grand finale of the games which is on 1^st October 2015. It is set on the last day of Sports day activities.

The sports day café booth is set at the side of the court. We spent 2 days for the preparation of the menus and the ingredients that need to be bought. We prepared the food one day before the sports day. Some of my friends: Anissa, Leony Bryan, Leony Florencia, Vanessa, and Audrey went to my house to help in preparing the ingredients. Also two of them, Leony Bryan and Vanessa slept over in my house due to the undone preparation.

 


   

We went to Carrefour supermarket to buy the ingredients 

 It was October 1^st, the day has come. My friends and I who slept over woke up by 5 in the morning to prepare the sandwich and fried meatballs with nuggets. We also got some help in preparing the ingredients from my mother. We panicked because it’s almost 7.15 and we haven’t done cooking. That time we should be going already if not we are late for school. We ended up arriving in school 7.20 a.m. I’m glad there’s no punishment. Upon arriving, we were in a rushed in arranging the booth with 2 sets of tables and putting all the stuffs.

We sold noodle cup ,salad, sandwich, roasted bread, sausages, French fries and meatballs with nuggets.

The booth is really a crowded stall. Students began to visit and buy our food from 8.30-9.15. We divided the task and we help each other out in cooking, serving and also the change of the money. It was really a tiring day however we have a lot of fun serving the students. As you notice they are all showing enthusiasm in buying our food. We have earned 5 hundred thousand rupiah for the profit that is gathered for only 1 day operation of this "Sports day café Booth". 

 This is a creativity, action and service that we are doing in Sports day café booth, because we plan the activities and make way on how to donate, also to make the students involve in this activity. This is an activity that is conducted outside the normal curriculum. We got the chance to open up this booth.

The main objectives that we would like to achieve are:

 (1)  To serve the students patiently, and manage to get a good impressions.

 (2)  To develop efficient work methods.

 (3)  To help in learning persuasion skills to buy the product with a positive language.            

 (4)  To help in putting efforts towards productivity improvement.

 (5)  To help in learning how to eliminate of the wasteful efforts and useless material handling.        

 (6)  Improving the interactions with customers (clear communication skills)

Learning outcomes: 

• Increased awareness of our own strengths and areas for growth 
• Undertaken new challenges 
• Planned and initiated activities 
• Worked collaboratively with others 
• Shown perseverance and commitment in the activities 
• Developed new skills

This activity can be related to each learning outcome such as the interaction with students and teachers.

We planned this activity a month before the launching of the Sports day café booth. Operating the Sports day café booth is really a challenging one because when 1 student buy the food, all of his/her classmates came in a big group of people to buy our food. We panicked and cramped at the same time in serving all of them who came uncontrollably. The risk that we must face is that accept those who left our booth in not buying our food; losing customers.

The activity was a successful because it went according to our plan. However, we never thought that there will be a lot of students will buy our food and come in a group. We thought 4 of our friends could handle the booth because of not that much menus we are serving but it turns out wrong. We need more than 6 people to handle the booth. To avoid this incidence, we have to know and estimate the number of people in serving and handling the foods in the booth. We should be more prepared in handling the booth and most especially having tissues on our side because, our hand has been so dirty due to the seasoning of the noodle. We are avoiding bad reputation on how we were serving the students with dirty hand. We were trying to maintain a hygienic serving.

This activity make me so exhausted yet it was very fun and interesting to do whereas this activity has taught me a lot of things such as developing new skills in serving and working collaboratively with others in order to make this activity a successful one. I hope that we can do this activity again in the future.
