Before I go into detail about our projects, here are some pictures from last Sunday when we treated ourselves at the Independent Bakery and then went to the last show at Athfest, where we saw Kishi Bashi perform. It was such a fun show!
Morning Roll from the Independent Bakery. Basically a cross between a croissant and cinnamon roll. Heavenly!

On Monday, Erin and I met with the executive chef to go over our recipes for our New England event. We made some changes to the recipes before we put them into Foodpro. We'll be serving:
- Chilled Lobster and Shrimp Rolls
- Maple and Chili Glazed Pork Chops
- Summer Squash Lasagna
- Boston Baked Beans
- Rhode Island Clam Chowder
- Cape Cod Salad
- Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes
Afterwards, we met with the head chef at the Village Summit to discuss when we could test some of our recipes.
The next day, Erin and I got some administrative experience as we shadowed Dianne who is in charge of paying all of the unit's bills as well as processing the invoices. It's a very important job filled with many details but Dianne gave us handouts to discuss the the daily purchase process which made it a lot easier to understand. Since UGA serves so many students, there's a ton of food and supplies going in and out of their warehouse so it's really important to make sure money is going into the right hands. It was great having the chance to talk to her and learn more about the behind-the-scenes work of food services.
Later on, Erin and I talked to Haleigh to discuss our marketing plan for our New England event. Our hope is to market to the freshman orientation group to get them to come to the event. Who can say no to a lobster and shrimp roll?
Afterwards, we met with Craig to discuss our customer service presentation. We also completed a strength-finders test which was awesome! It's a personality test that detects your top 5 personality traits in order to help you hone your skills using those innate characteristics. The test chose the following qualities for me:
- Learner- "A great desire to learn and want to continuously improve."
- Input- "A craving to know more."
- Achiever- "A great deal of stamina and work hard"
- Futuristic- "Inspired by the future and what could be"
- Connectedness- "Have faith in the links between all things"
It was a really neat experience because I felt like the test really picked out qualities that define who I am. I'm very appreciative of having the chance to take this test!
That night, Erin and I went to a comedy show at Hendershot's. It was a great time and the comedians were so talented!

On Wednesday, Erin and I looked for decorations for our New England Event at the Bolton dining hall. The highlight of this day was taste testing our Boston cream pie cupcakes and lobster and salad rolls. :)

Baked vanilla cupcakes
Chocolate icing, yum!
I know I'm biased but I have to say these were definitely delicious

Our finished product... Who wants one?
After testing two of our recipes, Erin and I made some changes into the recipes we had inputted in Foodpro. We then met with an assistant manager who showed us more decorations at one of the dining halls. Then we worked on our customer service presentation.
Friday was comprised on working on our customer service presentation and also trying to decide where we should put our decorations at the Village Summit.
The holiday weekend has been full of fun activities like swimming, fireworks, and barbecuing! Happy Fourth of July :)
