Plug in turn on all Nesco Cookers. Fill one cooker half full
of water for hot dogs. Pour two containers of beef broth and
one cup of onions in another for brats and burgers that are
cooked on the grill.
If it is cold fill big coffee pots with water and make sure
they are plugged into a working outlet. Do not plug two in the
same outlet, as it will trip the fuse. Let water boil. When the
red light is on, the water is hot enough. Locate the two large
brown carafes in the back room and fill them with the hot
water. Add one bag of hot cocoa mix to the container and stir.
Once it is ready and tastes good you may fill several
styrofoam cups as it will sell quickly. Refill coffee warmers
with more water to keep on top of sales. Styrofoam cups and
lids are stored on the shelves in the back room.
If it is cold and you want to serve chili, pour one can into
crock-pot and warm.
Make sure cheese warmers are filled with cheese bags
(two each) and the cheese is warm. The concessionaire will
plug these in the night before as the cheese takes a long time
to get warm.
Plug in popcorn machine and turn kettle warmer on to
pre-heat the kettle. Once kettle is warm, turn on stirrer. To
make popcorn pour one ½ cup oil into kettle. Pour one small
blue scoop of popcorn salt onto one full cup of popcorn seeds.
Dump into kettle. Popcorn will pop and overflow into the
machine. Wait until you have three or four seconds between
the popping of last few remaining kernels and dump the rest
of the popcorn out into the machine. Pop five or six kettles to
begin the game and pop more as needed. You will want to
have at least 25 bags ready for Varsity halftime. One person
usually mans the popcorn machine for the entire game. It is a
very busy station. Popcorn is stored in the big orange cooler
and bags/oil are stored under the machine in the cabinet.
Pull the grill from the side of the concession stand outside
and out of the way of traffic and light grill.
7.
Remove burgers and brats from the freezer and grill until
cooked. Add them to the Nesco with the heated beef
broth/onion mixture. Keep warm until ready to serve on bun.
Buns are stored in the back room on the table. If necessary
more are in the freezer. Use as needed.
8.
Remove pretzels from freezer and find pretzel salt
container in the refrigerator. Locate squirt bottle by pretzel
warmer and squirt four pretzels with water and place in salt
container to coat with salt. Cook 6-7 minutes in toaster oven
until center is warm and soft. Remove from oven and hang on
prongs in pretzel warmer. Repeat process without salt. You
should have at least 15 pretzels cooked to start and make
more as needed. Be prepared for the half time rush by having
plenty made ahead of time.
9.
Plug in and turn on pizza warmer. Papa Savarios will
deliver pizza at 4pm for Freshman/JV games and 6:45 for
Varsity games. He will also deliver a few chopped salads that
should be stored in the Coke cooler until it is served. Pizza
plates are stored under the center counter on the left.
10.
Remove candy from coolers and place on the
counter for display. If it is too hot outside keep candy in the
coolers and sell as needed. The metal countertops get VERY
hot in the early fall so be careful.

and onions and place on the condiment table outside of the
