Schoo Sectio Switch to Sage These are the people that are working every day behind the scenes to bring you fresh, delicious food. They don’t get a lot of recognition for the amazing work they do, but they definitely should. The people who work in the St. Mark’s cafeteria are special people who strive to help you make the right choices when you walk into the ever so busy cafeteria. Ever since Sage took over the St. Mark’s cafeteria, the cafeteria has had a new sense of energy. We interviewed two of the Sage employees. The two workers who were interviewed were the people in charge of the St. Mark’s branch of Sage, Mr. Garrett, and the head chef, Mr. Elsaesser. We asked them if they had worked in any other catering services, and they both said yes! Mr. Garrett said, “I started with Sage six years ago. Before that, I had worked with Carlisle Country Club and a few other places but never a specific catering company.” Mr. Elsaesser said, “I worked for Hyatt hotels.” When he was asked why he switched to Sage he said, “Because I was able to have a life outside of work, which means I got to spend time with my family more.” We asked the Sage employees if working at Sage had in any way impacted their life, and Mr. Garrett responded, “Yeah, like Mr. Elsaesser said, we get the regularity of getting holidays off, and for the most part we get weekends off, too.” Mr. Elsaesser responded to the question, “What is your favorite part of working for Sage?” by saying, “I enjoy Sage because they are a wellorganized company, they are very detailed with their training plans, and they want to put kids, students, diets first.”
