Next trip?

[Varun Torka]

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 think we should go this weekend again....

[Ajay Khanchandani]

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?

[Varun Balutia]

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

~I can be partially blamed for this, but it has been a really busy week

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.
