Private Catering

Last year, private catering run by the cafeteria subsidized student meals to the tune of $1 2000.

At the end of May private catering had made a profit of $2703. This is not as much as could be expected on a turnover of $31,000 and is due to a very high labour content (50% of turnover). Staff employed on private catering have been reduced substantially and a through costing is done on each function. The standard of private catering this year has been excellent and the reputation of the Union Catering Service is very high thanks to the efforts of Mr Berens and his staff. The full benefits of this will probably not be reflected in extra turnover and profit until 1977.
