Hi all!
First and foremost - I want to thank everyone who showed up for Bed Races Thursday night. I'm so proud that as a first year team we were able to win the Charitable Chariot Award!! Woo hoo Zone!
Secondly, I'm really excited that we are working so well together as a team. Everyone is really getting into the groove of things and it's awesome to watch. I'm really proud of everyone for their efforts so far! You guys rock!
Over these few past weeks I've been a little concerned with cash management and ringing on the register. Although so many aspects of training have been covered, I still feel that the concept of cash management has a long way to go. I'm not going to lie, I'm a little nervous every time I count out the bank for my shift because you never know what can happen in the course of a day with the bank! It has nothing to do with the staff, it's just something I get weary about. Cash handling can be a little scary - especially as a manager! I've definitely been a little crazy when it comes to watching over my staff near the register (sorry! nothing personal!). Having one person ring and another make the products has really been a successful system for us so far and saves a lot of time! :)
It's fun (and nervewracking) to learn new things every week and roll with the punches. Hopefully my worrying will be toned down a bit.... HOPEFULLY.
Stay along with us for the ride,
Lisa
What is this blog?
The RutgersZone is a revolutionary new space located in the Livingston Student Center on the Livingston Campus of Rutgers University. The space includes games like Skee-Ball and Pool, an array of HD Satellite televisions and a full-service ice cream/soda shop.
In addition to creating a unique experience on campus for Rutgers students, the RutgersZone also aims to develop life and leadership skills of the staff members working in the space.
This blog, the RutgersZone Experiment, is a chronicle of this ground-breaking experience being shared by seven undergraduate student managers and one professional staff general manager. These students are being tasked with working as a team to create an unmatched on-campus experience for our guests, learning to become effective managers and constantly "pushing the envelope" for what is expected on a college campus. As a part of their employment experience, each student manager is asked to blog at least once per week about the processes associated with opening this space or developing as a manger.
