Hospitality:  
    This job is the one that is not as easy as it may seem primarily because it is predominantly done as the show is ongoing.  You are limited to the amount of advance time when you can shop because the foods need to be fresh.  You go to the market and purchase all necessary items.  You need to purchase the ice on your way to the site daily as we have no way to store it.  We keep an inventory of our paper and plastic products and you would be informed if you needed to purchase paper plates or coffee cups, etc.  You plan the meals and prepare them.  You serve them.  The continental breakfast is set out early and since it is open to all in attendance you do not have to “watch it like a hawk” You do need to watch that there is enough out and the coffee is brewed.  Because the exhibitors arrive early, you must arrive earlier.  It takes a long time for that large coffee pot to brew.  The lunches and drinks are limited to the workers and those you kinda do have to watch like a hawk.  Because they had free access to the morning food some people think the afternoon food is free as well.  It is not.  You must tell them that the lunches and drinks are for workers only who will have a ticket to prove they are working.  You need to serve the lunch meal for portion control to be certain there is enough for every worker.  You need to set up and clean up the hospitality tent and the items you use such as the coffee pot and utensils.  You have use of the motor home amenities but they are limited.  The stove and refrigerator are not as large as you are used to at home.  You do not have use of the personal items in the motor home such as plates, utensils, bowls, pots and pans, etc.
