• Bittersweet would like a projected order which could be modified somewhat up until the week before delivery.
• They don't require paymen tuntil the day before if by charge plate or the week before if by chack.

I managed to get myself into Bittersweet about catering. They have a Website. With their lunch menu and hot lunch entree.

http://www.bittersweetcatering.com

They run about the price of going out to eat $8 and up per person. Sandwich and two sides about 13 nuggets and the hot entrees start at $8 and sides are $3 apiece per person. About the same as eating at a restaurant, but they bring it to us.

I have eaten there and the food is good; albeit it hasn't travelled to the next city.

Bittersweet appears to put out a quality product, and if it's 14.00 per person per day it would be $2800 for food (if 40 people register).

I think bootcamps work much better when we have lunch together: less waiting for other people to return from lunch, plus there tend to be good conversations over lunch about what we're covering.

We could either find area cheap restaurants to walk to, or find a space we can bring lunches.

Pros & Cons --diskind, Wed, 12 Jan 2005 18:20:35 -0600 reply
Going to area restaurants. Pros:

• easy;
• it's nice to get outside, take a walk and have a change of scene.

Going to area restaurant. Cons:

• takes more time;
• usually can't sit around a table for a large group discussion.

Bringing lunches - just the opposite of above.

One alternative is to do a bit of both. Go out a couple of days and bring lunches a couple of days.

Another alternative is to order in food from a carry out place.

With a large enough group the cost of lunches comes down quite a bit. I'd suggest something like pizza but, frankly, a huge dose of carbs midday does not make for a productive afternoon session.

Anybody want me to look into it?
