Reflection

Setting up a food stall was pretty easy this time because we have experience in this field. Thinking of menus, talking to the departments at school, getting permission for certain things and buying the items that school could provide happened in an organized way this time. We tried making new items that none of our seniors or friends have done in the previous food stalls, like coke float and oreo treats. Trying these new things made us a little of risk takers, considering that we didn't know whether the customers would like the taste of it. Also, we had too many people in the stall this time, which made it a little chaotic at certain times. When there was heavy rush before lunch time, too many of us were working in that small area. So it was hard to keep things organized on top of the big crowd. Towards the evening, some of the members left the stall to take care of other things. Again, it was hard to manage the stall with very few people. Had it only been the correct number of people who stayed in the stall all the time, would the stall have been more efficient. However, everything was a lesson. We learned to come up with quick solutions when ever a small problem arose. We learned how to be spontaneous and shrewd at all times. Counting the cash at the end also improved our skills. This experience had made me more of a responsible and a principled person. When my friends took a break for lunch, I had to take charge for the cash counter and that's when I understood how difficult that job could be. A second step in the a field we've already practiced in, has developed the skills of being responsible, creative and principled, that we acquired last time.
