CAFÉ 2000: An Education Society For Teachers of Future Foodservice Leaders

For Immediate Release

Ithaca, New York—Since its start in 1984, The CAFÉ Society (Computer Application in Foodservice Education) has been dedicated to assisting foodservice, hospitality and culinary educators in integrating information technology into their curriculum.

The CAFÉ Society’s current mission is to complete comprehensive tutorials that offer teachers a complete guide to integrating foodservice technology in their curriculums, and to have these materials available online by the Fall 1999 semester. As always, CAFÉ’s goals remain the same: to provide training and course materials for educators, to incorporate information technology into the curriculum using CBORD systems, to provide access to real-world integrated systems in the classroom and laboratory, and to provide a forum for the exchange of information among educators.

The CAFÉ Society has recently added a new feature to the web site at cafe.cbord.com: The CAFÉ Listserv. To increase networking opportunities, foodservice educators are able to join a listserv that unites all members of the foodservice education industry. This medium allows them to share their experiences with technology and discuss other ideas.

Members also enjoy specific training sessions tailored to their schools needs and access to tutorials at cafe.cbord.com. Current membership is international with about 50 educators from 26 different schools in the United States, Australia, and Canada.

If you would like more information about the CAFÉ Society, please contact Lisa Mack at 607/257-2410 or send an email to cafe@cbord.com.

“Cashless has created a culture in the organization. People refer to "swiping" and many have come to rely on it. Employees have their ID badge with them at all times and can use it anywhere.”
