Please please please forgive an intrusion from outsider.
Buy a pack of poker tokens off ebay, sort the colours
use the colours as codes and use the codes for the amount of portions bought. Cheapest value buys 1 meal, next pays for a couple etc.
If you use 3 values for for 1 2 and 3 then a request for a family of 7 came in then use 2x3 and 1 they pay thats 7 meals confirmed.
Of the spare codes, I dont know if all curries will be prepared equal strength, or other options etc, but the spare codes could be used as confirmation.
At the meet, come the night, curries up. Hand over your token, enjoy your food no awkwardness either side.
Slight cost involved for chips, envelopes and postage, but thats in the total over heads. Or they could be sold on the day before the meal.
So Proposed over heads Overheads £60 (just a random number based on 20 orders)
Orders are 20 before the meet
Suggested price in thread was max £3 (I think - it is late)
Token value = £3
if any one extra on the day wants a curry and cant be acommadated thats thier tough luck not to plan ahead.
If they can be accomadted then thats better for all cost wise as the chip price is reduced.
Price has to be dictated before the 1st one sold then it's "No more orders" situation.
Yes, I may well be talking out of my arris, but as soon as I read a member went out of his way and didnt get paid in full, as a result lost money on the offer. Then to be fair you dont order fish and chips and say oops I forgot my wallet, tell you what I pay tomorrow and then forget for a year.
In fact, I will go and empty my PM inbox ready incase I upset anyone who didnt pay, coz you ought to be ashemed of yourself's if you dont have a genine reason for long term forgetfullness.
