First the hostess was terribly upset. She was supposed to have 6-8 people. Four showed up. I told her don't worry about it, hit them up for orders. She kept apologizing I told her no big deal. She had 5 outside orders that totaled almost to $150!!! I told her that was awesome b/c some don't even try to get orders outside. Her show when I left was $3 from being a $300 show!! :thumbup: Anyway her Future MIL took catalogs and order forms with her to help the hostess out! PLUS she offered to buy whatever cook where she wanted!!! The hostess had so much fun she booked another show!!!:D
 
I think that it was great that you kept reassuring her that she was still a good host and that you made sure that she didn't think that you were mad at her for not having more people.
 
Sometimes the $300 shows give you hosts/customers for life that you don't get with the bigger shows. Sounds like you had a great night!!
