Week 2

Good Morning Everyone!

This week, I had the opportunity to spend week 2 with Sam Ford at Couch restaurants. This cafeteria is one of the only all you can eat places on the OU Norman campus. The way that couch is run s incredible and takes a lot of coordination. It is very crucial that all members communicate and work together. It was very interesting to see how dietary restrictions are handled at Couch. They have a section of the buffet line that is top 8 free and a buffet cart that is top 8 free along with gluten. It is awesome to see how Couch accommodates all members of OU.

I spent time in many places of Couch including: front dining area, Chick-fil-a, Vegetation Station, Receiving, and La Roma. All places were very busy and required communication from all members. I was in the stock room on a Thursday which is weekly inventory, but it was also monthly inventory. I followed both Ronnie and Justin to see how they manage such a daunting task. On top of inventory, they also had to put up orders and keep all walk-ins/store rooms clean. I absolutely enjoyed talking to everyone and getting to see what they do everyday.

This week was very different than what I expected, but I absolutely enjoyed every minute! Sam invited me back to help with Lunar New Year on Wednesday, which will be interesting to see how they handle a big events. I will also try out my recipes for my Business Plan and Recipe Modification.

Talk to y'all next week!
Best,
Amber
