Café Enterprise
Café Enterprise is an initiative by the I&E Committee together with EBS, POA and F&N teachers for students to experience working in a real F&B workplace. Students went through a training course by the Café Staff and carried out duties like serving waffles, snacks and drinks to fellow students at the Café. The students also learnt the importance of bookkeeping by ensuring the balances of cash at the end of their shift.
