<p>[quote user="Francine"]</p> <p>Those waters have been tested. I don't know if you read my post on how Subway tried to do it. Some people here hail the Nor'Easter as a success story in the food service question. Their contractor, Epicurean Feast, also operates at a loss (duh), which is gladly picked up by the State of Maine.</p> <p>Someone has to pick up the losses of providing food service on a train. Town, City, State, Country. Take your pick. No one can make money serving food on a train. If you don't believe me, try it yourself. [/quote]</p> <p>If food service is a critical component for train travel and the customers won't pay its full cost, then it has to be subsidized. The key management question is what business model results in the lowest subsidy? Outsource it to a contractor or use in-house employees?</p>
