Arkansas Best Foods of Jonesboro has agreed to the following terms:

-They have agreed to cover on-site storage of food products with no additional charge

-They have agreed to outsource the labor as well (4 cooks and 28 servers) for an additional $3,000 flat fee for the two-year contract that covers 4 sports seasons (2 football and 2 basketball). In this fee, their employees are responsible for stocking the kitchen the day before the scheduled game as well as cleaning the facility afterward.

-This means we only pay $3,000 in labor over the two years. (They want it paid upfront.)

After the two years are over we have agreed to sit down and renegotiate prices and services.

Our only costs include the price of the food items and the $3,000 labor fee.
