Matchday Catering

[Traf]

Bottled beer in vending machines. Cut out the useless cunts completely.

I agree with the vending machine idea, but serious question. Are there beers supplied in plastic bottles? If not H&S would have a field day.

I don't know the finer points of the match bar experience as I have not had a pint in there for years.

Yeah at the rugby it’s plastic bottles common place. Old trafford for the grand final and was all plastic bottles from memory

Yes, been to quite a few away games that sold 500ml plastic bottles of Carlsberg/Carling. At the UniBolt they already sell plastic bottles of Kingstone Press cider.

I presume that a vending machine that sold alcohol would have to have a steward on hand to check for underage drinking etc but as an idea it isn’t entirely beyond the wit of man.

Contactless cards would help.

There's an issue with bottle tops, of course, but I've seen machines with plastic pint pots with a foil lid, a bit like the 10p kids cartons.

Do vending machines still drop the product out of a chute? it would be a fizzy as fuck I imagine.

I'm not being negative, but I only drink proper stuff in pint glasses so I don't know.

i would gladly offer my services on how to pour a pint of beer, change a keg ,gas bottle and how to turn a guinness surger machine on.

how to add up the price  of any beverage and pie.

education is the future

[victor meldrew]

the problem is , employ kids who don't know what they are doing is going to end in failure , and pissed off customers

I’ve seen beer-dispensing venders in hotels where there’s a collection slot on level with each row of bottles so the bottle just moves horizontally and doesn’t get shaken up.

How would it be set up then to make money? The club ask so why not lend knowledge ? 

[victor meldrew]

the kiosks need re building , not sure they would do this

The staff seem better than years gone 

You’d of thought past kiosk staff had arrived via a lorry from Calais
