Dining Rooms Sales: $2,513,950 INCREASED
We are forecasting continued strong dining room usage. Overall covers are up over 5% this year. We believe we will continue to see usage to be strong in the dining rooms and there will need to be additional price increases based on predicted commodity price increases of 3%.

Family Recreation Center: $140,180 INCREASED
The changes we made had a positive impact on the pool sales. The new bar increased liquor sales and the enhanced staffing levels helped to increase overall sales. We were also able to enhance the service experience, but it did require higher staffing levels. We had a 50% increase in liquor sales by adding a new Pool Deck bar. The pool deck grill helped alleviate service issues but did not contribute to any major increase in food sales. We are limited in the variety of food we can offer due to the kitchen layout and
