In this class they rotate through all of the positions of the kitchen and restaurant staff. By experiencing different jobs in the hospitality industry, from dishwasher to head chef, they learn to be effective workers and managers. This is the 13th time they have teamed up to make lunch this trimester and they are confident in their abilities. Most of them have taken their turn in the stressful managerial position. They know that Hsiao, who is in charge of putting on the luncheon, just needs a little support.
Teamwork is big around here.
And if they make a mistake, Jarvie will be sure to let them know. Inside the dining room, and especially in the large, windowless kitchen next door, it is easy to forget that this is a classroom lab and not one of Providence's fine restaurants. They pass the nightclub Complex, a few government offices, Chestnut's restaurant and their university library and gym. If they kept walking, Pine Street would lead them to a bridge over the rushing traffic of Route 95 and into South Providence. But many of the students turn right off Pine Street and walk through a heavy wooden door into The Hospitality College.
