c. Marty Strand, Bill Rotchford, Randy Hedge, and Kelly Kramp – proposed
changes to dining concepts
Mitchell Tapingo works well. Bourke looks good where would Star Ginger be
located? Answer: change venue does not work for whatever reason has not taken
it back to discuss. Hagen: decisions new venues would that also change where
other places are located? Answer: – double edged sword to put it in
Subconnections at ultimate side problems with lines we can handle that, we are
going to use Titan Taco or maybe pizza hut on one space on campus, all options
are up in the air right now, what we are looking for are ideas for you folks,
downstairs grab quickly, hard to balance. Improve what we currently have work
on own campus and add to Titan Taco, answer is yes if we were to keep Titan
Taco we can change menu they have specific recipes and menus that you have to
follow, the UWO ownes Titan Taco and there is flexibility. Best practices into
Titan Tacos not numbers not a particular items not cut through the red tape,
correct about flexibility. Mitchell: Asian place on campus previously and how
did it do then? Answer: not as successful as should have been and partially our
fault no titan dollars it was a higher price and they were not willing to pay,
thought get more and we thought more product more expensive all about money
in the end. Mitchell: Sage café busy all the time higher quality and more
expensive do not see same options in Reeve, upgrade Titan Taco coincide with
trend communicate to students right on the, new menu sampling. Hagen: the bit
refrigerator in Reeve takes up a lot of space, could they look into getting one big
cooler. Answer: problem with messing with that move due to electrical changes
to that extend becomes expensive, Dennis agrees with Jordan and Chase if we can
do our self. Wholly Habaneros and Star Ginger exclusive to Sodexo and would
have to follow their recipes. Thompson rebrand switch cannot just close rebrand
of Titan Taco. How will affect meal plans? Answer: average costs meal plans
not going to touch retail venues most of week day off campus students that do not
have meal plans increase the sales. Looking for more students looking for more
customers no matter what if we are not meeting their needs not going to dine with
us, faculty staff and customers the new meal plan more the way of Titan Dollars
upgrade with the Titan Dollars, commuter sales capture more commuter sales
which are very low, capture that market and serve students better. Bourke try new
things get out of routine in college. Schiedemeyer: Taste of Nations which ones
get the most students attendance? Answer: Asian is popular higher end type
items.
