Week 3 at UGA

The past few days Mattie and I have been able to work on our banquet project.  I suppose it is time to reveil the theme... The London Games, featuring a lovely British cuisine.  We were able to complete all the recipes and input the inventory numbers for each recipe.  Next week we will be able to test some of our recipes in the kitchen.  We know what we want for our decorations too, so now its just time to find them or find the supplies and get creative with hand making them.  Janet, the manager working with us on the project, has already been a busy bee.   She put together this olympic torch as a prototype for the centerpieces. 

Mattie and I flip flopped stations today; I worked at the Red Clay Cafe and played barista with the lovely Andrew while Mattie worked in eateries.  Summer time is slow, so it made it easy to handle the flow of customers at Sweet Java.  We went around with Jordan and dropped the cashiers off at their designated eateries and helped set up the mobile site at the library.  The library is under construction which leaves them without a physical building for their Tween the Pages concept. 

Jordan explained that you still must carry on and make do with what you have in certain situations so that you continue to generate revenue.  Many of their suppliers have given them the racks (such as the Power Bar rack shown in the picture).  He noted that you should take them up on freebies because you never know when you may need to utilize them!
