A note of thanks from Bistro Verde

Hello Bistro friends,

Thank you so much for joining us this semester for Bistro to Go and Bistro Verde. The students worked so hard this semester keeping up with record sales and a very small team! Your lunch experience gives these students valuable real world experience, which increases their confidence to step into new beginnings with the confidence of a true professional. Because you are actively participating in student learning, we always appreciate your feedback when we have items that should be fixed up and also when what we are producing is really great! We look forward to again providing great Bistro experiences next semester.

Much love,
The Bistro team
