Chuck & Augie's Celebrates One Year Anniversary

By Scott Harmon

Tuesday, March 14, 2006, marked the one year anniversary of the opening of Chuck & Augie's Restaurant. Looking back at the past year, it was full of challenges, long hours, and most importantly, an incredible effort to ensure customer service and food quality. The fruits of these efforts have been made clear by the positive responses we have received from students, faculty, and staff. In this first year we served 86,376 guests with sales totaling $884,496.94, which is a 600% increase over the Nutmeg Grille's last full year of operation (2003 - $147,208.91). Here are a few annual totals of the menu favorites:

• Burgers – 15,726
• Smoked Turkey Paninis – 12,975
• Wild Wings – 10,623
• Buffalo Chicken Salads – 9,902
• Caesar Salads – 7,139
• Kentucky Pie – 6,547

This would not have been possible without the dedicated efforts of Roselyn Lamont and her team. They went above and beyond to exceed our customers' expectations. They viewed the challenges as opportunities and created an environment that was not only appealing to our customers, but also operationally efficient.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Roselyn and her team for their enthusiasm and dedication to the success of Chuck and Augie's, and commend them on a job well done. You should all be very proud of your accomplishments - I know I am!

I would also like to thank Chuck Morrell and his team for their continued assistance in keeping the restaurant looking its best and Wes Gregonis from the One Card Office for his support of our POS system.
