Cost Saving Ideas

Hi,

I am using some of this as a parking lot for ideas for when I do 3 keynote speaking engagements next month.

For buffet lunches put coffee near the door with disposable cups so people can take the coffee with them.

Do desserts at the afternoon coffee break.

Theme out your foods – Raising the bar – do different bars

Church cookbooks

Gorgonzola Cheese on Potato Wedges

Ask about leftover wine will make a great upgrade

Ask how much comes back

Ask to look at size of food and portions often can easily get bigger portions for the same money.

Wow affect use dry ice pellets

Spend your F & B Min. put a banquet bar in the lounge area for nightly hospo.

Use watercoolers – and sell sponsorships for bottles. Lemonade/Trail mix bar

CRG – talk about sponsorship opportunities.
