Happy Birthday Bailey’s!
Mahé Rabesa
Baileys has been an integral part of student life at the university for a year now. Between cafés, meals and even Socials, Baileys is everywhere. Students are happy to have a café nearby with so many food and drink choices. As well as accompanying them throughout the day, students can enjoy Baileys' delicious concoctions at evening Socials. The café's decor is modern, there's plenty of room to study with friends, and Baileys is often a victim of its popularity. Indeed, time and again at lunchtime, there's a queue to order. Fortunately, to alleviate the wait, a website has been set up where you can order online and collect your order. Students can order in advance, between classes, to avoid queuing and being late. The food is succulent, and the coffee is comforting.
According to general manager Sean Taron, "This last year has been a crazy and enjoyable year; it's hard to believe it's been a year already."
Here are a few highlights from Baileys over the past year
Spotlight Meals
The concept is to create a new special meal named after one of our varsity athletes. It is to celebrate our teams and their athletes and encourage students to attend our athletes' games. For Sean Taron, these feature the senior athletes from the various teams we have on campus: Rugby Curling, Soccer/Futsal, Volleyball and Basketball. He sits down with every player to plan one of their favourite meals. Then, highlight Bailey's and on social media pages to help put a face with the name and hopefully get more spectators to support them at their games.
Gift A Meal program
Another of Baileys' strengths is its commitment to helping the student community. In collaboration with BUSU, the program helps students finance their meals during the week. All customers coming to Baileys can add a $7.50 charge to their bill, with the proceeds going to help students. University students can be part of this program by contacting services@busu.ca and will benefit from this financial aid by receiving a biweekly meal free of charge.
This is just the beginning of the Bailey's adventure at Brandon University. We're looking forward to many more great years at Bailey's, with many new projects!
To conclude the article, here's a note from Sean Taron, General Manager :
I would also like to thank BUSU for the fantastic opportunity to bring back an essential part of the campus with Bailey's, my fantastic staff for all their hard work and dedication and the campus community for all of their support with Bailey's; without them, I would not have been able to succeed with this new adventure in my life, I look forward to what the future holds and hosting many more events at Bailey's.
