Bon Appétiters Take a Turn in the Spotlight at Adidas

Emory Incentivizes Safety, and Everybody Wins When it comes to safety, the Bon Appétiters at Emory University in Atlanta turned to a little friendly competition to ensure their own, and their colleagues’, safety. This past spring, the 13 units at Emory — including Rollins, the Depot, Starbucks, SAAC, White Hall, Eagle Convenience Store, Ms. Jeans, and Peet’s — plus those at the university’s sister campus at Oxford College joined forces in the name of minimizing accidents and upping the teams’ collective safety record. The year started off accident free, inspiring high morale and a commitment to continuing the stellar safety marks. To up the stakes, the safety department challenged team members to maintain their status, offering two 55-inch televisions as prizes for the associates whose units suffered zero medical-related accidents. Competition proved fierce among the staff. Five units suffered accidents in the ensuing months, but the rest remained accident free, making their team members eligible for the TV drawing. To their great delight, Supervisor Cindy Daniels of Rollins Café and Utility Associate Charles Frazier of the Depot, both located on the Atlanta campus, won the raffle. Charles said, “I have never won anything before. This is great!” The entire Bon Appétit family basked in the experience of doubling down in the pursuit of safety. There’s nothing better than working together to ensure a safe environment for all.

t isn’t often that you get to reintroduce yourself to guests after more than 10 years of service, but the hardworking Bon Appétiters at the North American Adidas headquarters in Portland, OR, are doing just that. Following a successful refresh of the food programs and space in the high-volume café, Chef/Manager Jon Arionus wanted to reconnect guests with his longstanding, incredibly talented team. To that end, each week the café is spotlighting a member of the staff through a Meet the Team promotion, presenting a dish close to that team member’s heart along with fun facts about the person, samples of his or her dish, and a recipe card for guests to take home. Jon said, “It has been a great way for our staff and guests to reconnect, and it’s pushed some of our quieter team members to open up a bit more and share the food they love with the guests they see every day.” He also noted that the promotion has allowed team members to cook outside of their typical stations, which is fun for everyone. The promotion will continue until all of the team members have been profiled. Catering Supervisor Quincie Gist is especially excited for her turn. To everyone’s delight, she has promised to make her famous grilled cheese, which is the sole dish that she cooks for the café!
