For compensation, students are offered a drink or food item of their choosing after a shift. Additionally, we feature an employee of the month award, where the recipient receives a certificate, as well as a cash bonus to commend their hard work! Through the café, the students are introduced to a fast-paced work environment and learn an array of workplace skills, from making drinks and advertising, to taking inventory and working the register. The students rotate through the different positions in the café, so that they all have an opportunity to step outside of their comfort zones and learn new skills! Every Wednesday at lunch, we feature our “Gourmet Day”, where students brainstorm, advertise, cook, and serve a delicious meal of their choosing. The café on Wednesdays is definitely standing room only!
