Why Canteen Tacos in a Bag Fail

Problems:

1. Not enough product to meet demand.
2. Not enough salsa and sour cream to match up with number of product sold.
3. Not enough chips per bag. (Used 55g individual Dorito bags)
4. Not cost effective.

Solutions:

Assuming a 60 pack of Dorito individual chip bags the cost would be about $43. This is 2640g of chips total.

Had store brand large bags of tortilla chips been bought instead at 2 for $7, only 3 bags would be needed. This would be $10.50 and the equivalent of 2940g.

Given the large price difference 4 bags could be bought for only $14, allowing for larger portions. In addition more salsa and sour cream could be provided to meet demands.

The student body would see that they were getting good portions for their dollar increasing demand even further. That means even more product should be bought to compensate for increased demand. Meanwhile a larger profit margin could still be attained.
