Hey!!
Week One is under our belts, I am starting to feel more at home here in Georgia. However the heat and humidity will take a long time to get use to.
This week started with a lot of early mornings. We spent time this week working at Bolton, Snelling, and The Summit. Both Katie and I got to work at stations this week. It was a nice change of pace. We were lucky enough to work with full timers who really know what they are doing and are pleased to teach you. Monday we spent time in Bolton’s dish room. Surprisingly dish room is much harder than I thought it would be but after the first 400 Football players we got the hang of it.
Tuesday I worked on salad prep where I worked in prepping all the items that you see on Bolton’s lovely new salad Bar. There is a lot that goes into getting the salad bar ready everyday in the transition from Breakfast to Lunch/Dinner.
On Wednesday we got to interview the upper management team, and all who helps UGA foodservice run smoothly. We interviewed everyone from Dietary Specialists, To "Dan the Meal Plan Man". We also had the pleasure of interviewing accountants, IT managers, Human Resource managers, Material Manger, FoodPro guru, and even Mr. Floyd himself. It was very interesting for me (a Management major) to hear what all the different positions have to say about their jobs. It was insightful and helpful.
Thursday I shadowed Henry, he is one of the assistant cafeteria managers at Bolton. It was a hectic day from all the camps. I arrived at work at 6am to help Henry with his morning duties. We did payroll and Scheduling. The remainder of the day we made sure everything ran smoothly and made sure all the employees knew what they needed to accomplish for the day.
When Friday rolled around I was getting tired, but didn’t let it show! I was at Snelling on Friday. I spent the morning shadowing Diane. She is one of the Managers at Snelling dining hall. She spends her Friday mornings doing overtime reports. This week there were almost 15 people who had overtime. We had to justify why each person got overtime for that week and give reasons on a paper to turn into accounting. After helping her I shadowed Student Management the rest of the day. I followed around two different Black Shirts; Black Shirts are the names for the Student management team, which includes student managers and student supervisors.
I enjoyed this week I really learned about what the management does on a daily basis. It will help when I graduate and become a manger myself. Everyone has a different management style that works for them and I have been able to see what they do and how they make it work for them and their staff.
