We ran an Enterprise cafe at school for 2 afternoons, all organised by the children. So much learning takes place in the run up to the cafe and on the days.<\/p>\n

The children:<\/p>\n

– get a booklet to read with job descriptions for each of the jobs available at the enterprise cafe<\/p>\n

– choose the job they want to apply for and write an application form<\/p>\n

– learn about their own skills and qualities to help them prepare for their job interview<\/p>\n

– get invited to a job interview in the school office with the headteacher and secretary<\/p>\n

– prepare for their interview at home (interview questions are given in advance, along with the table that shows how their interview skills will be assessed)<\/p>\n

– receive a job offer then start working as a staff team to plan the cafe<\/p>\n

– design a menu<\/p>\n

– take table bookings over the phone (parents were given a certain day to phone and book a table)<\/p>\n

– write a shopping list for what they need for the menu using the Tesco app for rough prices<\/p>\n

– use the shopping receipt to work out how much all the ingredients cost<\/p>\n

– price the menu to ensure they can make a profit<\/p>\n

– find recipes for what they need to bake\/cook<\/p>\n

– learn about food hygiene procedures<\/p>\n

– learn about customer service skills<\/p>\n

– bake and cook what they need for the cafe menu<\/p>\n

– set the classroom up as a cafe<\/p>\n

– welcome customers into the cafe<\/p>\n

– take customer orders<\/p>\n

– prepare drinks and food orders<\/p>\n

– serve food and drinks<\/p>\n

– calculate bill totals<\/p>\n

– work out change to be given<\/p>\n

– clear tables<\/p>\n

– wash dishes\/clean up<\/p>\n

– count cash to get a total of takings<\/p>\n

– count tips and equally divide them between all cafe employees<\/p>\n

– subtract the cost of ingredients from total takings to work out the total profit<\/p>\n

– reflect on and evaluate experience<\/p>\n

So much learning, life skills and fun! Thank-you to everyone who booked a table and supported the children. Their profits have gone into our school fund and will go towards school trips.<\/p>\n
