Foodservice Rotation
My foodservice rotation was about 7 weeks long (224 hours) at Kettering Health Main Campus. This rotation equipped me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the foodservice production process, from inventory purchasing and collecting patient food orders to food production to food delivery and clean up.
​
Distinctive experiences throughout this rotation include a US Foods facility tour, working with various supervisors and learning about employee management and evaluation, observing and helping with job interviews, working in the ingredient room, and planning and executing a cafeteria theme meal.
