Option $1$: Food Stands

Currently, there are five concepts of food stands, including: hot dogs, soft pretzels, turkey legs, sandwich wraps and funnel cakes. This approach will double the existing number of food stands across the park by adding two more of each food stand concept$-$six of which will concentrate in areas near the construction zone. Each stand will cost approximately $$5,000$ to purchase and get up and running.

Option $2$: Food Trucks

This approach would be something totally new for Paradise Park and will include adding four park owned food trucks serving different cuisines $($burgers$,$ pizza, tacos and dumplings$).$ Each truck wcurld cost around $$30,000$ up front, have $3-5$ options on the menu and require three employees to run. A handful of tables would be available near each truck for visitors to use.

Option $3$: Deluxe Vending Machines

While popular in Asia and parts of Europe, deluxe vending machines are still somewhat novel to an American audience. Going this route will entail adding two vending areas to the park, each housing eight vending machines $($costing close to $$10,000),$ that offer a variety of street foods from across the world. One of the vending areas will be located near the construction zone and the other will be located more centrally within the park between Wild Wild Wood and Fear Factory. Food for the machines would be cooked in the kitchen of the closed$-$off restaurant by a total of three cooks servicing both locations and refilled as needed by one staff member from each vending area. One other employee would be stationed on$-$site full time at each location to assist customers.
