Should we have a trip this weekend? We are in the black but our profits are dwarfed by other ventures. In case we do have a trip, we need to book the bus and post about it on student board.

I don't think we should go considering the luke warm response we got last time.

Lets float a spreadsheet and we can decide based on the response. Wat say?

Has anyone booked the Bus? It might take two days to cut through the red tape!

Based on the feedback I received, most of the people are resistant to spend 5-6 hours of a weekend on a trip, given the current weather conditions. But they were totally interested if they got the food delivered to their rooms

Will it be possible for us to change the business model a little and include packaged food from famous destinations in kolkata
Anyways we will be visiting the places, so I don't think there should be a problem getting the food packed, we can take the payment beforehand

The possible flaws maybe
- This may cannibalize our previous venture
- Food may get cold if the delay is too long. ( If only we could arrange something for it to be re-heated )

We can put a spred sheet and see the response.
 
Abhishek's idea has a problem. Our travels would cost us 1000 rs in cab atleast. We would need to sell the food at a very high price. And it would look like a desperate attempt to gain profits.
