A word about the automated food ordering app in the North Bank and “new food”

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

The word that springs to mind is “Crap”

Only Wolves can implement a new system which maximises queues and sees people missing the start of the second half. Do Wolves have the staff serving tranquilised before the game - its the only explanation I have for their slow motion approach to work and lack of any awareness that people want to watch a game.

I know Wolves want to save money but I didnt think it would be by increasing the price of the pies, making them smaller (and blander) then removing any gravy out of them. Absolute tat and wont be bothering again.

 

[johnnybetchas]

I agree - this new system is bloody crap, it just takes even longer than before to get a drink!

 

[henri_camara]

I’m sure the catering is not managed by wolves at all? More a Thurs party?

 

[bod101]

didnt know about any app in the billy quiet, but the tandoori chicken pie i had was fine

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

Who'd pre-order food for HT not knowing for sure how long it would take to be prepared and not knowing how many others would have done the same thing? You've only got 15 mins max; it's not like waiting for ever down the chippy! Having said that it may be preferable to spend the 2nd half in the concourse eating rather than in your seat?

 

[WolfLing]

Balti pies haven't changed for the better. Pastry to filling ratio is all wrong and it's all a bit dry.

Its not an app. Its five touch screen where you order and pay mcDonalds or Argos style - So queues for them. Then theres only four or five people serving (slowly). Massive queues then with your pre-printed ticket to collect your purchase. The issue with this is that there should be people pre-pouring but this didnt seem to be the case. It was bloody rubbish and the food was bland (mince beef and onion pie) and my son thought his balti pie was dry and bland. Missed the first 5 minutes of the second half - people were stuck there drinking their beer and watching on tv.

Crap all round - I rather pick up something before or on the way home.

Well they need a rocket up their ****.

 

[SmiffyWolf]

Not really surprised about this if they can't in vest in the stand why bother with the catering. The ticketing system at the start of the season was a farce as well .

Oh well at least Jeff can address this in his 6 yearly letter to fans in 2029.

 

[rincewind]

There moving slowly because GON did the motivation speech just before half time?

ahhh maybe due to the demographic in the billy quiet new tech wasn't introduced!

From memory of a time I sat in the BW, there's probably no room in the concourse for the touchscreen and associated queues!

They must have a hell of a party on Thursdays, because they all seem to still be hung over on Saturdays.

 

[Mel Eves on a bike]

On the subject of food - do we ever have Vegan pies available? Seen the signs for them but not actually seen one in person. Very mysterious.

 

[Boss Hogg]

Can anyone confirm that the interiors of the pies are still hotter than the sun?

 

[Mark Rankines Lovechild]

I can confirm that they are about as moist as the surface of the sun if that helps.

 

[Darvo]

The beers **** and so is the food. I never bother.

What's the issue with the beer now (apart from the scandalous price)? One thing I'd say has improved.

 

[surreywolf]

So how do you know?

 

[Bostin]

Never really understood people’s fascination with having a beer or pie at half time. Especially if you have to miss the last 5 minutes of the first half and the first 5 of the second.

Can people not go 90 minutes without a drink or some food?

I sometimes have a pie and a pint before the game, is that OK?

No

 

[Oldgoldilox]

Not had any of the food so can't comment on the quality but my lad needs feeding hourly so always asks for something after we've climbed the stairs, can confirm that the new ordering system has not speeded anything up though. I know the staff are probably all students but I've never witnessed a less motivated bunch anywhere, ever. All they have to do now is fetch stuff and hand it over to people and it yet it seems to almost beyond most of them.

Quills, ink-pots and parchment scrolls being installed next week

Here’s the issue. There’s also no one to guide or motivate them.

Went to the Stade Renaiss friendly and sat in the Family enclosure. My lad saw another kid with pick and mix, which they serve in there. I went to the kiosk, no queue, so ordered a cone of pick and mix from the one server on duty.

I kid you not, she took an empty cone, then opened a dozen different jars of sweets one by one to fill the cone up. The whole process took about 5 minutes and by the time she’d finished, there was a queue of about 5 people tutting behind me.

The most inefficient thing I’ve ever seen. How are they not pre-made?

You gotta love the modern game and whats important to some fans .

I know, basic common sense. It's also usually the case in the NB that there's at least one maybe two standing doing absolutely nothing at all at any one time.

 

[Minimalist]

Years ago I went to an away match (think it might have been Sheffield Wednesday, but not certain) went down to the concourse at half time and the staff had pre poured what must have been over a hundred pints ready to serve!
Seemed such a sensible logical thing to do, but never seen it anywhere else.

 

[Sedgley Gold N Black]

Even so, Wolves select the third party and still have some oversight/responsibility for them.

Can't say I've tried the food, or a beer, at HT this season but in the South Bank the queue seems a lot longer/slower when trying to get through to the loo.

 

[Northbank cigarette]

I'm pretty sure it's run by a company called Compass Group. A very successful FTSE 100 enterprise, but they just can't seem to get it right at Molinuex

Because then it would be just a "Mix"?

They do catering for the company I work for, and are utter crap. Wouldn't surprise me that they do Wolves too.

Perhaps they are joined by the players too

I think you're asking a lot of people to get through watching the Wolves for 90 minutes without alcohol

They definitely did that at Derby in our 02/03 promotion season - really surprised it didn't cotton on further & wider

 

[TheRetroChief]

Honestly, I have no idea why anyone goes for the offensively overpriced slop they have on offer. Food or drink!
Fancy screen or not. All you can be guaranteed to feel is disappointment and like you've been robbed

That requires foresight and planning. Also may have to pay staff for an extra half hour work

 

[bigwolf]

They were giving away free pies in the Southbank at the end of the game as they had not sold them all.

Fair play! I’d much rather see them given away to Wolves fans after the game rather than end up in the bins for the Liverpool fans lol
