Tours

This week has been pretty busy with putting our final menu together and entering it into the system. We made lots of phone calls to people and set up things we are going to be needing in a couple weeks. Casey and I went to the catering unit and found some Asian decorations but it wasn't enough so we went online and found some really cool stuff. I am really excited and feel like the whole project is coming together. I hope the day of the event runs smoothly and nothing to crazy happens! I think it will be a lot of fun and def. a day to remember.

Today we went on a tour to Fowler produce and Omar coffee. Both of the tours were awesome and extremely informing. I really enjoyed the Fowler tour because we had a produce company we used to buy from where I used to work and the things he showed us made me connect what I used to do at my old job with that produce company. I also think that its great that they have so many local farmers and are supporting the businesses in this area. A lot of people aren't doing that and it's great to see such a big company putting forth the effort and it just shows that it is possible to support "the little guy" and still be doing ok. The Omar tour was great as well. I love coffee and we got to see the process of how the coffee comes in, checking it, roasting it, grinding it, and packaging it. I had been on a tour of another company and it was quite similar except this was much larger. There are a lot of factors I learned from touring these two buildings and things I would of never expected to happen. We are also working in one of the coffee shops this week and that should be a lot fun! (and getting extremely caffeinated in the process)
