Next week in umd

We did it! Another successful opening week for fall semester. We are slowly getting everyone trained and the Food Court is running like a well-oiled machine…sort of. We started a new promo this week, giving away a bicycle to one lucky winner.

Opening week at the Food Zoo has been outstanding! We have a great new batch of students and we are looking forward to this year! The kitchen has been wowing everyone with excellent items that the students are loving! The managers and students in the front of the house are moving so fast it is hard to keep up with them and all of their hard work shows: everything looks great! We are still hiring student positions and training, training, training. We at the Food Zoo would like to thank everyone in all departments for helping us during our opening events. Catering extended a huge help with our RA Banquet and, with the assistance of Lauren and their outstanding student employees, our students were able to get some catering training as a bonus! We have our first omelet bar on September4th- Introduction of the Food Zoo Staff – it will be the introduction of the” World Famous Omelet Guy” to our freshman and we are

inviting you all to come say hi!

We have spent all last week training. Most of the student positions are filled and the new items are eagerly waiting to be tried out. We'll keep you posted with the feedback.

After making 400 dozen home made cookies for the Welcome Feast, the Bakery is very happy to relax a bit . Football season is here so we are trying to bulk up on all items in preparation. Catering events include making pastries for the Robert Gabriel dinner and IBEX team meetings.

It has been an exciting week with Biz Buzz and Recess coffee operations. This week we have had a lot of fun being able to open our doors and welcome all our old and new customers. We have also added a lot of new student to our awesome crew. We are looking forward to a fun and exciting semester. Think Tank is getting back in the groove. There are many reliable returning students that helped smooth the transition into the semester. Don’t forget to stop by for a delicious lime or pineapple Italian soda! They’re on special all next week!

UMC will be doing inventory and cleaning up from the home opener. We have soccer matches at south campus stadium Tuesday And Thursday day. The Griz Food Truck will be out for late night service, but you'll have to "like" the Griz food truck on Facebook to find location, times, and menus! Saturday the truck is heading over to Greek Row to feed 90 sorority sisters and parents for a

contracted meal.

We get to have a little breather this week. We will be catering the IBEX meeting all week. And a couple of small events to round out the week.
