Week #4

Week #4 (Fixed)

During week four I have gone more in depth with my employee in-service training and my business plan presentation.  I am excited for these events, and hope people enjoy them!  I have been developing recipes for my business plan; by using the US foods website and CBORD I was able to create appropriate recipes for Chef Gary to make.  This week I have also learned more about the different roles and job positions within housing and food.  Tuesday, I spent the day with Rachel Davis, Dan Wilkens, and Sean Bacon learning about CBORD, EMC, micros, nextstep, etc.  I found it very interesting seeing what they do and understanding the technology behind the business systems, food service databases, reporting modules, and kiosk solutions.  It was also a very fun group of people to work with.   

On Thursday, I was able to do an assessment of Couch with Kevin Barker (Director of Business Operations).   I really enjoyed doing this inspection and helping to give feedback on what can be improved.  Kevin also helped me understand what the concerns were and what actual health code violations were.   Couch had a few things that needed to be fixed, but for the most part they looked good!  In two weeks I will be continuing work with Kevin to discuss budgeting and understand how that works within housing and food services.  Thursday was also the managers meeting, which was held in Wagner Dining Hall.  After the meeting, Frank Henry gave some of us a tour of the entire building, Headington Hall.  Every square foot was beautiful; I really enjoyed the tour and getting to hear about the difference in the dining halls.  I am looking forward to next week; I will be working with Curtis Gregoire over at Wagner.  This week has really helped me discover more about housing and food services from a lot of different aspects.
