A great question and answer about using a Fryer at Festivals

Recently someone wrote to our facebook page with this question: "I have a question for your network, or maybe you know the answer. when using a fryer at a festival, there is always grease spilling and staining the parking lot, concrete or grass...is there anything that can be placed under the fryer to catch that? Something the size of a sheet of plywood, but obviously not wood because of the fire safety issue. Any info you might have would be great!! " Here's our feedback! First suggestion is see what other food booths with fryers (those not in a trailer) are doing. Yes, festival-food-fryers do use plywood. They also use saw dust, garage floor oil removal products or cat litter. Of course the health department dudes and/or fire marshal (if either come around, which is different from event to event) may have something to say about one's choice of a solution. If you have anything to add to this topic, please do!

Problems with promoters? and how to censure those that need it

Has anyone else about had it with untruthfull promoters? Not all of them are , and those should be applauded , but those that are should be censured. Why do vendors not rate bad promoters? Let them not make a preceived dollar amount at an event and they blame the economy, which is bad now, the weather, etc.but how much blame should the promoter accept? Lets face it some venues should never have been booked. In the past year alone I have seen attendance figures so grossly overstated that no way could they make an honest mistake. I ask how many port-o-lets they have ordered. Is the electric reliable or is it just plugs there? Its not a good sign when you pull in and first thing out of their mouth is telling you how they are having problems blowing breakers. Do they put you in a spot way away from anything? then act like you should be thankfull they even allowed you in? And then charge you the same fee that their bud's get charged,why do they all demand the full fee to be paid in advance sometimes a full year in advance? do they think their's is the only event you do in a years time? It's not uncommon to have several thousand in set up fees floating out there. I could see a deposit then the full amount in the month before the event. Isn't it time that the word gets out about these promoters that are only there to see they make money? Why do they have uncontrolled setup times and tear down times? All that mes could easily be done away with with stagered set up times, Miss your time you go to the end of the line. Promoters nowhere around once the event starts? why is that? Why do I send them photos when requested to do so if they still try to place me in either too tight a space or totally on the wrong side for my serving windows? I send photos and measurements .I pull into an event with my consession trailer worth thousands pulled by a truck worth more thousands and they think I can pay for this when because of them I make no money? Granted they can't control the weather and there are other factors that are out of their control but there are so many things GOOD promoters can control and I for one appriciate the good ones. The bad ones don't see me a second time but personally I think we as vendors need to band together and announce these types to the world and maybe we can eventually get them out of the business. Hurrah for you good ones. Let them know who they are . The bad ones, Do let them and the rest of us know who they are

Jacks Italian Ice

need advice a.s.a.p

Hi I'm a new food vendor. I sell italian ice. I'm from N.Y. but live in F.L. I just started selling ice at fairs and the problem I'm having is twofold. First how do I predict how much ice I will sell at a given event.We just booked our first large event it said there will be 50,00 to 100,00 next weekend. I have enough ice on hand to sell 800. I'm stuck on how much more I should get before the event. I've only done two other events and both were a loss. One because of bad weather the other was very small 2oo people showed we only sold 30 ices. So I could use a little advice. HELP please. I would appericate any thoughts.
