2020 Caspers Company Manager Awards
Recognizing 2019 Performance
By People & Culture Supervisor Zakee Bailey
On February 17, 2020 we honored the accomplishments of our people for 2019 at our annual General Manager Awards Luncheon held at our main Caspers Company office. During this event we honored both individual and team achievements in several categories of operations and also those who support operations.
As always, President Rudy Garcia opened the awards and welcomed everyone attending. Vice Presidents, Operations Managers Danielle Andrews and Cedric Christopher presented the operations awards along with some help from our assistant operations managers and area supervisors to present their people’s individual awards. Also attending and participating in the event was President of Caspers Service Company Michael Buelow, who currently oversees our service operations for not only Caspers restaurants but other food service operations as well.
After enjoying great company, and even better food, the festivities began!
