2006 Lake Ann Park ConcessionIBoat Rental Evaluation
It seems like the summer is over before it got started! The warmer weather
helped our bottom line overall from last year. However, increased costs in
products, fuel surcharges on deliveries, staffing costs and an aging watercraft
fleet made It challenging to make the concession operation profitable. I am
looking to find new ways to run the operation more efficiently in the future.
The Lake Ann ConcessionIBoat Rental Operation is reviewed on an annual
basis to see how we can improve our customer service and increase
revenues. Prices for equipment rental and food are reviewed so that we may
determine what the market is willing to pay. I believe that we should
consider increasing fees on some things for next year.
General Comments:
. Continue to use a smaller number of vendors to simplify the operation.
. Slush puppy machine, which was very popular and had a higher profit
margin, should continue.
. Look to increase a marketing campaign to increase sales and activity.
. The "meal deal" (hot dog, chips, and soda for $3.50) was very popular
again this year.
. Have matches on hand for people who need to start their charcoal grills.
. Kept menu items simple - quick point of sale.
. The concession staff again was outstanding and contributed significantly
to the Lake Ann operation.
. Purchase new life jackets, as needed.
. Investigate raising food prices again to increase revenues.
. Continue to operate with less staff whenever possible.
. Pray for hot weather again!
. Replace one more paddleboat.
. Close concession and boat rental operation at 6:00 p.m. after August 1.

Thoughts on additional hour of service:
Jerry and I spoke at the beginning of the season about adding an extra hour to our hours of
operation (extended from 6 pm to 7 pm) in thinking that we should offer concession and rental services
as close to hours of operation of the beach as possible. The mid-season was definitely profitable during
that last hour of each day but the beginning and end of the season were essentially wasted pay-roll in
my opinion. My suggestIOn for next season would be to extend hours only during the month of July or
not at all.
Thoughts on staff:
In the many seasons I have been part of the Lake Ann staff, I haven't been a part of a better
group of people. Hard workmg, honest and dedicated... can't ask for more than that out of seasonal
help. Adding the 4th staff member to the staff was a much-needed change and made scheduling much
easier than previous seasons.
Needs for next season:
Counter top renovation
o I know that this is in the works and was supposed to happen during this season but
was not completed. Counter tops are rotting and are becoming more than an eye-sore,
and are now a nuisance for operation as heavy objects cause cracking.
New soda coolers
o The cooler closest to the door and the one on the right on the counter top above the
life vests were repaired twice this season and still never fully cooled.
