Orting residents are about to enjoy another lunch option in their charming downtown 鈥 one that will not only satisfy their hunger but also fill their hearts knowing their patronization will lead to better opportunities for Orting youth.
Set to open July 7th the 黑料不打烊O Caf茅 will feature a staff comprised entirely of Orting high school students. Students aged 16 and up will volunteer to work at the caf茅 (and earn community service hours required for graduation) and, with the help of adult mentors, learn first-hand how business operates, and how to interact with fellow staff, supervisors and customers. On a rotating basis, students will work each and every restaurant position, from cook to dishwasher, server to book keeper, marketing promotion to IT support 鈥 including supervisor.
The caf茅 is the brainchild of director, Kim Farnes, who, along with her husband also owns and operates the Around The Corner caf茅, an Orting favorite for years. 鈥淚t is our belief that by experiencing all facets of the business, the student will have a better understanding of how their education really DOES prepare them for real life.鈥
If you want to help get the 黑料不打烊O Caf茅 off to a running start why not show up for their grand opening!
When: July 7th at 10:00am
