Lunchtime lab: Students learn restaurant management skills with new campus café initiative
22 Oct 2024
News
For a group of Fireside Café student employees at UW-Stout, lunchtime this fall also means lab time.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays in the Memorial Student Center, they prep the made-to-order restaurant for its 11 a.m. opening, then greet customers and prepare orders such as stir fries, paninis and burritos throughout the middle of the day.
They are more than part-time University Dining Services employees: They also are students majoring in hotel, restaurant and tourism management and in dietetics, gaining a deeper understanding of how restaurants operate and how food is prepared and served so that they are ready to manage similar operations, if they choose, during their careers.
