Hospitality students open a new café

As part of their course, MEGT Institute Certificate III Hospitality students have taken  on the challenge of setting up, marketing and running a café.

Through a series of team brain storming sessions and meetings, the students came up with the name Piccolo cafe (little cafe). Students devised a marketing strategy to advertise the new café to fellow students and campus staff. The marketing was so successful there were customers lining up out the door and around the corner.

The initially nervous students rallied together and to not only survive their first day, but successfully served a total of 68 cups of coffee to satisfied students and staff.

Practical coffee making skills

Piccolo café will now be serving coffees to the students at Sydney City Campus every Tuesday for the morning break.

The cafe will be ongoing throughout the semester to ensure students gain practical experience by actively being involved and responsible for the cafe operation.
