Rudder High School Gymnastics is hosting our State meet at Bryan High School this year. We will have gymnasts and families from all over the State. I'm looking for ideas for food that would make the most profit and be a good seller. We are going to try and get donations for some things. If anybody has run a successful concession stand and have some suggestions I would certainly appreciate the advice.

Quinoa

All of the above listed (chips, candy, hot dogs, pickles, nachos). Also, slices of pizza.

Hot Dogs! Jumbo ones, with lots of mustard and onions. My wife loves pickles. The kids like nachos, hot dogs and chips.

OP- Do you have an email address that I can reach out to you at? The majority of my career so far has been in concessions/food outlet management at major theme parks (San Antonio and Southern California). I'd love to help y'all if you need some assistance.

You rock!

Frito pies, just buy the frito brand chip bags in bulk, buy the large cans of chili at sams, some trays and forks/sporks and you are done!

Flamin' Hot Cheetos + nacho cheese.

Not the most gourmet thing in the world, but we ran concessions for middle school region band tryouts a few times. Little Caesaers Hot & Ready pizzas - $5. Eight slices @ $2 / slice = $16. That's a pretty big profit ratio and soooo easy. We did borrow a warming rack from culinary to keep them warm.

We did an event at rudder and as Tailgate indicated the Little Caesars pizza was the highest volume item. Had some deal with the one right there on Bonneville road. We got them starting when they opened at 10am and they were immediately gone. Made several orders and trips and could not keep up with demand. When we do events at consol, usually end up in the same situation with hungry howies

I've worked with concessions at TAMU events as a fundraiser for Girl Scouts for 4 years now and the biggest sellers (not including beer) have been hot dogs, pretzels, nachos, and pizza rolls. If you have pizza rolls, you really don't even need the other things. Drinks are a great low cost item that you can turn a good profit on. You can purchase in bulk from Sam's and charge at least $1 per can of soda or bottle of water. Prices for hot dogs run about $4, nachos $5, pretzels $6, and pizza rolls are 2 for $8 at TAMU games. The year we ran one of the Double Daves stands, we sold out of pizza rolls at every game. I've also seen Little Caesar's pizza work well at robotics tournaments and the cost is less than for rolls.

If the meet starts pretty early, do breakfast tacos from Taco Cabana. Also, reach out to Double Daves. See if they will sell you pizza rolls for the 2 for pricing and then sell them for $1. I have seen this done at BHS on a number of occasions. Also CICI's as also worked out a deal with the schools, and you can sell pizza slices.

Pizza rolls are easy to keep warm in a roaster. Just individually wrap in in foil sheets, or wax paper sheets.

DAMN.... I AM HUNGRY

Thanks! tammykpollock@gmail.com

Beer.

Robots run on pizza

Concessions can make a killing on coffee and cocoa for the outdoor sports.

Frito pie. Anything else is something else.

If it's an outdoor event in chilly weather, Mexican hot chocolate rules.

Nah. I'd do pizza over a Frito pie any day. Hell, hot dogs or burgers. Frito Pie, truthfully, is low on my list.

To those who said they would contact me here is my email. tammykpollock@gmail.com
Thanks!!

Sausage on a stick

When i was a kid, i grew up spending my entire weekends at various sporting events. We basically lived off of giant sour pickles, french fries and those big pixie sticks.

Always would take kids to women's basketball games on solvacek sausage dog night. Think they were $0.50 each. Was always a fun time. Would buy them at Albertsons when they had friends over. Don't know if they still make them but I would buy if I they were available

If you're talking about the plain Slovacek sausages, you can get them at Sam's. We serve the pepper jack ones at games now and I buy them at Sam's to keep at home we like them so much. You can also get most of the Slovacek sausages at HEB.

No they were normal hot dog sized and labeled as sausage dogs.
