Market Day Reflection

In business we had been planning for market day and Holding a stall on the day. For market day we made and sold Candy Floss to Hornby high students, Hornby primary students and Some people/ parents from the Hornby community.

In business we learnt a few new skills such as, Food Preparation, Testing the products, how to make a contract, how to talk to customers and get them to buy our products, budgeting so we wouldn't lose money, and how to make

Three of our weaknesses were, 

1. Not having tape to hang up our signs this affected us by having to tell people constantly the prices of our product. If we had our signs up it would've made a difference by not having to stop and tell people the size and how much it costs. 

2. How long it took to full up a bag on the day with multiple orders, We didn't take into account that it take awhile to heat up the candy floss maker to cook the sugar to make it into candy floss, if we were to have the chance to make it again we would pre make some bags full of candy floss so we can keep up orders and not have to turn people away. 

3. Having gloves, we had to use some gloves from Miss Taylor which wasn't being responsible on our behalf as it's a part of food hygiene, if we get a chance to do it again next time we will bring more than one pair of gloves.

Three of our strengths were, 

1. The Candy Floss Machine , It was very handy that i had a candy floss machine so we didn't have to hire one, ours worked very well as it was one that worked and the only machine  that lasted the whole market day as the others overheated and stopped working. 

2. Working together, Both of us worked really well together, when one person was collecting the candy floss from the machine the other would take payment and hold open the bag, We had great communication which worked well in this situation. 

3. Making candy floss worked well for us as it is quite popular among kids and other people and isn't an everyday thing, the only problem we had was that other people had the same idea as us so we had some competition.  

Overall I think my group did well for it being the first time working together for something like this and we had fun making candy floss and It was a good experience.
