CENTENNIAL GRILL Profile
The Centennial Grill operation is located inside Centennial Beach. Centennial Grill is supervised by the Superintendent of Facilities and employs approximately 25 part-time/seasonal staff. The positions include a part-time Food and Beverage Manager, Shift Supervisors, Grill Cooks and Concession Attendants. The Centennial Grill menu includes many food and beverage options ranging from full meals to snack items. Soft serve ice cream continues to be the top selling item at the Grill, making up approximately 26% of the overall sales. ICEE frozen beverages and chicken tenders also are very popular menu items.
In 2023 Centennial Grill replaced shaved ice with ICEE frozen beverages which resulted in 7.0% of total Grill sales. Overall sales from online ordering were 1.0% of the total revenue, down 4.0% over the previous summer. The menu was adjusted due to supply chain issues, which limited the District’s ability to stock certain items, and increased costs associated with food and supplies. Concession sales exceeded budgeted revenue by 12% or $31,100. As we saw increases in sales, the Grill is projected to achieve a surplus of $80,800 which is a 53% increase or $28,000 over the 2023 budgeted surplus. We also added digital menu boards to the grill, which allowed the District to change menu pricing frequently during the season
due to escalating supply costs. In 2024 the Centennial Grill menu will be adjusted based on past sales data, and pricing will be increased on menu items to offset operational costs associated with the impacts of minimum wage increases and food costs. Centennial Grill will continue to offer ICEE frozen beverages due to its popularity in 2023. The District also will continue to offer online ordering in 2024, although it will be limited to patrons within the Beach facility and not available to Riverwalk users. Centennial Grill is budgeted to achieve a surplus of $66,000 in 2024.
