Staff usually are bored at night and waste their time (and money) eating......
They also usually get their paycheck from the camp toward their canteen bill. your choice if you want to allow them to go over that limit
but that has to be worked out With the camp first
WHY NOT?!?!

popcorn and slush machines are not that expensive, and they pay off very quickly
A slush machine is a lot more expensive than a popcorn machine.

You have a lot more potential selling slush its hot outside and kids(and adults) will enjoy the slush more meaning you can charge $1.50 for a 6oz cup.
Found one on ebay refurbished

+1and you may be better off looking for a no name brand one.  Also I'd try getting someone to sponsor the machine. :)

You sure it's like that on restaurant items? I'm not sure why but I believe I saw that somewhere.

Use a computer to keep track of the accounts papers get lost and messy
Slurpies are a kill all you do is put cheap shoprite soda in the slush machine
Hot pastrami was always the hottest stuff buy the packages of Mealmart at costco for $10 a pc make sure you have a lot in stock

Just be careful adding soda. IIRC if you use diet/sugar free it will cause the whole mixture to turn to a block of ice and break the machine.

On the topic of slush machines, any info on renting one or buying (a 2nd hand) one for cheap?
