It’s around five in the morning when Ms. Diaz and her assistant get to the Boys Division cafeteria. Pretty soon, her volunteers arrive. Almost right away, they start to work.

Ms. Reed and her assistants get to the Girls Division cafeteria at around six in the morning. Her volunteers come at around the same time as she does.

These managers and unpaid volunteers work pretty much every day for about ten hours. Their morning starts with cooking, ordering, and accounting.

“You know, for the most part, we have a very difficult day,” Diaz said. Really, the only thing that they get to do at work is, well, work. Cooking, ordering, accounting, and serving the kids are the only things that they have time to do.

The same thing is happening over in the Girls Division.

Both of the managers take their jobs very seriously, but at the same time they have a lot of fun.

“I have never worked in a job that I have enjoyed as much as working with kids,” Diaz said.

“Working here is insane. But it is also very beautiful, comfortable and challenging,” Reed said.

The BD and the GD are different in totally different ways, but are also very similar.

Everyone knows, or should know, that the BD cafeteria is all about “volume, volume, and volume,” Diaz said.

If you are a student at Regis Jesuit, you have seen the amount of cookies that are made pretty much every morning, and every morning they are devoured until they are gone.

“You guys eat a lot,” said Diaz.

The way that the cafeterias are managed is sophisticated yet simple.

The BD cafeteria is run in bulk, while the GD cafeteria is run in style. The BD still has style, but the bulk is more important.

“Girls are a whole different kettle of fish than the boys,” said Reed.

The cafeteria run by Ms. Reed in the Girls Division is just like the cafeteria in the other division, but with just a few differences.

The cafeteria in the Girls Division is known to have a different variety of foods.

“Over time, I have learned what the girls like to eat. Probably the boys would eat the same, but the boys eat way more than the girls. We do offer a lot more fresh foods like salads and fruit,” said Reed.

The fact is that the cafeterias are pretty much similar. They were even changed in the same ways.

Ever since the new model, set up by Mary and Kevin McNicholas, things have been running more smoothly with that bulk. They were Regis Jesuit parents, and they cared for all of the boys that went there.

“What she has done has changed leaps and bounds since then,” Diaz said.

The new model, consisting of new cycles, rotations, and supplies keeps everyone satisfied. It has probably been this model that has made RJ’s cafeterias great.
