Mizzou life

Hey everyone! I'm having a great time here at Mizzou! I'm learning so much and it's fun to actual see the things I've been learning about in class in practice. Everyone we work with has been so nice to us! They've certainly kept us busy here, we've been working on all three of our projects and still learning about the different operations on campus. For the most part we've been at retail locations and seeing how those run as opposed to residential dining.

Let's talk projects now. So we have three projects to complete by the end of the summer here at Mizzou. First we have a mini special event that we're planning which is actually going to take place in about two weeks! Mine is superhero themed! We've been testing recipes and meeting with different people to get our recipes into CBORD and forecasted. We're putting a lot of work into this, I can only imagine how much they have to do for a full blown special event! Our other project is a business plan for a renovation of the Emporium, a little market attached to Plaza 900 the main residential dining hall. We've been going to meetings with the higher ups to see drafts of the new building from the contractors and talking about what they want to see in the renovated Emporium. We're going to write out a business plan and present it to everyone later in the summer. Our last project that we started is writing six months worth of safety tips to be shared daily with the staff in all the dining locations in their Daily Lineup. They can be more than just safety tips in the kitchen, so we've got some holiday safety tips, hot weather tips, etc.
