Fwd: Catering Opportunity May 1st

[Mehul Shah]

Check out this quote. They would be giving a lot of food, plus 10% off if we pay in cash, along with $5 gift certificates per person (maybe we can get them to sponsor a prize too). Let me know what y'all think. It is the typical Indian food, but they can do something different (their wraps, they also do naan pizza) if we want something different..

Hi Mehul,

Please find attached the catering estimate with multiple menu options designed just for the event. You can also choose the items per your liking from the catering menu ( http://naanfull.com/download/CATERING_MENU.pdf) and let us know. 

Since the event is for an association, we will offer $5.00 gift cards as a token of appreciation to all your guest. We will also discount the gross total by 10% if paid in cash.

Let me know what you think and provide your inputs.

Best Regards,

Paramjeet

I think it would be a mix of veg and non-veg.

Mehul,

Thanks a lot for reaching out to us for the catering event. We also appreciate your patronage and feedback.

Are you looking to have a vegetarian catering or a non-vegetarian one. 

Best Regards,

Hello. My name is Mehul Shah and I've been at your restaurant a few times and love it. I have an upcoming event for NetIP (Network of Indian Professionals) on May 1st at the Riata Club house. We're doing bollywood trivia.

I'd love to see if you guys would be able to cater this event and how much you would charge if we had around 50 people. If you can get back with me, with suggestions of menu, price per person, etc.. we could move forward. This would be great promotion, since NetIP has thousands of members in the area alone. Thank you.

Mehul, This sounds very nice.

 

I am attaching an excel sheet from last year. Could you please use that sheet or make a new sheet that accounts for all the expenditure associated with the "Riata+Naanfull" plan? Based on that, an estimate of the number of guests that would help us break even (no profit no loss) would be helpful.

Please (1) name the finished document "Riata+Naanfull.xls" and upload it on the google folder, and (2) email a summary of the financial ramifications of this plan.

 

All,

if we have any other plans, please create a similar themed document.

 

Sumina,

please advise on which other avenues we are exploring at this point and who is pursuing which ones.

 

Thanks,

Vinit

Are we done with catering, or do you guys want me to call places tomorrow?

Pooja, what places do you have in mind?

I see only upsides in placing calls, and do try Inchin's Bamboo garden (I sent out their contact in a previous email)

 

Further, now we have a baseline (from Naanfull). Without naming names, see if you can negotiate something nice.

To help in negotiations, you can use the Mehul's approach which I really liked. I am laying them out in more detail below.

 

1. we will put the name of the restaurant along with event description. Specifically, it will be on at least on  (a) fliers, (b) 3 FB updates (c) FB invite (d) 2 NetIP newsletters. All this will go to the entire subscriber base, which is > 1000 in Austin. The umbrella organization, NetIP North America has a subscrber base in the several 10000s.

 

2. We will mention the name of the restaurant during the event and during prize distribution

 

3. Something else.

 

If you guys have any other ideas, please run them by me or sumina just to ensure it is kosher.

Awesome job Mehul :)

 

I was thinking about the Indian food trucks like we had discussed in the second meeting...

 

Naan Sense (Naan Stop) - they use to stop by arboretum where I work...

 

Conscious Cravings

 

Nomad Dosa

 

Can we request them to come to Riata Club House? Or its not very feasible?

 

Just a thought...There is also Tejis Restaurant, Curry In Hurry etc

 

Thanks,

 

Alisha
