QDear 100 Hour Board,

Is there a specific reason that the nicer restaurants on campus are only open during lunchtime? Like the Skyroom and the MOA Cafe? I would love to eat there, but it's really hard to fit it in my schedule when they're only open for three hours or less. It seems like dinner would be more profitable, anyway.

ADear Hungry,

The MOA cafe and The Skyroom offer meals that are more expensive to prepare and have to be made in advance. They have to guess how much food and staff they need before anyone even steps into the restaurant. They are riskier gambles than Legend's Grill or the Cannon Center because they aren't immediately next to kitchen-less freshmen or the Smith Fieldhouse gym. And it's bad business to offer competition for the already small on-campus dinner crowd. In the case of The Skyroom, in addition to lunch it's regularly booked for ward parties, school functions, and wedding receptions or dinners in the evening. These events yield booking and catering fee royalties and are therefore more profitable than offering a regular dinner each night.

-Ineffable
