The Late Night Special

The Panther Grill, Prairie View’s on-the-go retail dining room, now stays open until 11 p.m. Under a new formed contract The Panther Grill will now be providing excellent service to students past the Memorial Student Center operational hours. Since the Purple Zone is closed due to expansion, Sodexo made the marketing decision to allow another food service location to be available for late night nutrition seeking individuals.
Carl Hawkins, the manager of The Panther Grill, said that he knows that students are not always available to travel back and forth off campus. Whether due to no automotive transportation, or other personal reasons, Hawkins said, “I want students to still have a variety of late night dining locations by avoiding the treacherous drive and other threats that come with late night driving.”
Hawkins also said the new time will also give the staff more hours. Increased employement hours create plentiful opportunities for staff members to have a less strenuous work schedule. He then starts to describe the process of the school meal point based system also known as Panther Points, and said that once the school meal point system starts diminishing, so do the hours of the staff.
Sodexo dining services offers students, faculty, staff, and guests a complete commercial food experience. With a wide variety of appetizing foods to meet the different needs of valued customers.
Hawkins hopes the company will not only get a chance to help the students, but the students will help support the staff.
So with big dreams and aspirations the new operational hours of the Panther Grill look promising for long revenue. Next week Sodexo will be having their yearly Man vs. Food challenge and looking for eager participants. As long as hunger calls between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. the Panther Grill will always be there to provide excellent service.
