When we have an outage, all the refrigerators, food coolers, generators are affected. The biggest problems were the fans under the hood system, which sucks up the hot air and steam and pumps it out of the building. We couldn't use the grills, the ovens or flattop (grills). We can't cook any burgers or French fries without the vents because of health code regulations.

We could still toast bagels and pastries. We stuck with Bean and Bagel until full power was restored. We did the pre-made items as normal. Luckily we made the pre-made items before the power outage. We were planning to send people to the D.C [Zorn Dining Commons] because they had generators to operate the building at full service.
