Telstra stadium in Olympic park is the biggest stadium in Australia. Usually football (football is different from soccer in here) matches are held there.
I have worked there for few times on Saturdays. A company is responsible for selling food and drink in different level outlets. Like the outlets of Mc Donald’s and similar food outlets, the management structure and related work are exactly the same. The companies which out sources man power, send their staff to different outlets to work in a short shift.
So, employees (most of them students) from another companies, handle the business in the event. There is just one supervisor in each outlet that manages the process.

Supervisors play a key role in this business. They have to allocate their resources in a way that can increase outlet productivity. The demand is so high in the events and outlets just have to supply as much as they can. Everything is nearly 50% more expensive than in the market but nobody cares about that as it’s the time to enjoy the life.

Last time, my outlet supervisor offered me to work as cashier. Usually people are scared of that because of the high responsibility of dealing with cash. I accepted as I was really interested to evaluate the sell of one outlet in an event as a rule of thumb. In our outlet there were six cashiers and I received nearly AUS$2500 in three hours. It means nearly AUS$15000 our outlet received in that night. There are six outlets in each level which means AUS$90,000 per level. There are six levels in the stadium. Yap! Nearly AUS$500,000 just in food outlets in an event was exchanged between individuals and a company. I didn’t consider the sell of bars which usually have better business than food ones.

Good economic situation of individuals can guarantee the business success of companies and corporations. It means if individuals get paid well, indirectly companies and business owners would have more income and revenue. This fact can easily be observed in Australia.

After all, they say business is business.If you compare this with the alcohol business,I think it is nothing 'cos They are consumed more than food stuff.BTW,Do people use EFTPOS over there in transactions or just cash and credit cards?
