So week 2 at IU was working at Wright Food Court. Due to my untimely injury I actually spent two days at the administrative building working on a new training module for employees which I will explain later!
So my first day at Wright started by shadowing Chef Amy who gave me a tour of the facility before we started making pizza dough for the day! Wright Food Court is one of the busiest food courts on campus along with being the most centrally located dining facility. With student orientations occurring every day (the incoming freshman class is over 9,000 students!) Wright is always busy!
The next day I worked at Wright I was able to meet with a few different Asst. & General Managers to discuss ordering and maintaining inventory in a location that serves over 5,000 everyday. It is not an easy job, that's for sure. After shadowing managers I was able to work in the 'Pacific Rim' concept at Wright. At this concept customers are able to order stir fry dish with a protein and vegetables that is made to order. Working during the orientation (5-7pm) was hectic but in a good way! It kept me on my toes. Below you can see the egg rolls we made, the large batch of general's chicken for the orientation express line, and the area in the concept where we make the food fresh to order.
So I mentioned that I spent two days at the administrative offices working on a training module. Micah, the training coordinator for RPS Dining, is currently looking to expand training for all employees to help staff and any new students joining the team in the fall to have a good understanding of the job prior to starting hands-on training. Because of my management background Micah trusted me to establish a guide for managers to use to assign online training modules based on the employee's job title. It may sound boring, but it was a project I actually enjoyed doing!
Until next time!
