CADET Training and Employment (business arm of STEPS) recently launched its new restaurant at the Caloundra Rugby League Club with a lunchtime buffet attended by 60 people.
The food was prepared and served by CADET’s international certificate and diploma students of Commercial Cookery. The students came from a range of countries – India, Nepal, South Korea, Ireland and America. As part of the students’ assessment, the buffet placed the students under similar pressure encountered in the commercial field as they worked on set-up, front of house, table service, meal preparation and delivery.
“The feedback from patrons was overwhelmingly positive with many bookings into the restaurant in the coming weeks,” said CADET Customer Relations Manager, Cheryl McGrath.
The restaurant will continue to operate for several months, providing realistic commercial experience to the students under the guidance of professional and qualified chefs. A three-course meal which includes a choice of three delicious meals in each of the courses will cost $15. The restaurant is open Monday to Thursday for lunch from 12 noon.
