MACKE TAKES OVER THE PISGAH FOREST CAFETERIA OPERATIONS
The Macke Co. of Asheville, long
established at the Pisgah Forest
plants through vending machine
service, took over the entire feeding
system November 1, following
close-out of Company-operated cafe
terias the previous Friday.
Remodeling of the Ecusta and
Film cafeterias, and extensive re
working of the kitchen, prepared the
way for the November 1 opening
which met with immediate success.
With reports reaching other employ
ees Monday afternoon of the quality
of foods, the service and the pricing,
more than twice the number of em
ployees ate in the cafeterias Tues
day than did Monday. The volume
continued to climb daily.
Holiday menu fare is a specialty
that the Macke people had spoken
of proudly. Their claims were justi
fied with the special Thanksgiving
offerings of ham and turkey and all
the trimmings, including decora
tions. Roast beef was the special
menu at Christmas. In both cases,
the holiday meals were served prior
to the actual holiday in order for all
to enjoy.
A full line of vending machines
was installed in the warehouse area
for round-the clock feeding. The hot
line service in the cafeterias is for
all shifts: days, evenings and grave
yard. Vending machines also are in
the cafeterias for those persons
working over who are unable to
catch regular feeding periods.
In order to serve employees of
outside contractors working in the
plants, arrangements were made by
the contractors with Macke for
vending facilities specifically for
their people.
