Hard Hat Cafe: Difference between revisions

However, in its first two years of operation, it did not operate as smoothly as intended. The store was closed a few times for minor health infractions and improper licensing in its first year as the Engineering Society learned how to operate the business.  Deficits were reported in each of the first two years mainly due to inexperience in the food business and slow reception from students. In 2010, a revised business plan was proposed by the Cafe managers Donnie Yee and Gibran Kichlu with a renewed focus on marketing (including more use of social media and targeted campaigns during [[F!rosh Week]]). Pre-made sandwiches and salads were also largely removed from the inventory, as they were easily spoiled and unpopular with students. New products were introduced, such as microwaveable frozen foods, instant noodles, and a wider variety of drinks, which combined for record sales throughout 2010-2011.
