spelling error in section 5's title: the word should be "consistent"
i think letting your players know in advance about the food/drink situation is more important than being consistant.
i have a home game with new players all the time in addition to my regulars. with every invite, i specify the food/drink being provided so that the players can decide if they will have dinner before coming to the game or come to the game early and join us for dinner.
you mention your example about the "rake" for the food/drinks. i know you're not advocating that and that you don't do it yourself, but there are a lot of legal ramifications if anyone's game is caught doing that.
another suggestion: maybe section 2 & 3 can be combined into a "be organized and prepared" section.
