Planned on coming - mother was going to watch my son. She just found out today that her sister is in the hospital and her sister's daughter [niece] is in the ICU in a coma [overdosed on pills, they don't think she's going to make it].
I have your number Nate and I will call you tomorrow if we're not going to be able to make it up - family first obviously. I just won't know until tomorrow afternoon but I still plan on trying to make it if possible. Just depends on how my mom feels.
It is looking promising, might be a cold ride home though...
I'm back in. I got the night off
Back again with an update.
First off Mike I am sorry to hear about your family.
Talked to Chris for quite a while today. There will be 5 gallons of rootbeer that Tim is making up for people. No problem with people coming and not eating. Chris will bring up some gluten free cheese pizza for those who might have an allergy. Menu will be their signature pizzas, drinks, breadsticks vegan and pulled pork nachos. We will setup a table for people to sign in and get a name tag. You can pay for your meal and purchase beer tickets at that time. They can accept credit cards by using an ipad and scanner. The bar will be cash or the before mentioned beer ticket. Chris will bring some tickets for the door prizes. I want people to sign up for the prizes they want, if you are not interested let somebody who wants that particular prize have a better chance. Chris will be running back and forth to the kitchen if people need something.
We did discuss gratuity. We were not sure how to handle that since it is a buffet but they will need some staff present. Plus this is the very first group they have hosted like this, the others being parties were the employer paid upfront. Gratuity can be made when you pay for the meal which is not customary obviously but easy. I suggested tip jars at the entrance and bar. It is my belief that INGO will take care of the young people who might be helping.
Chris says people should feel free to wander around and look. I declined music since I am sure people will be visiting.
cash or credit?
Either one, it sounds like to me
