Jenkins’ efforts lauded in trade publication
March 16, 2022
Hospitality initiative gets national attention
A major trade publication has featured Kendra Jenkins, Wright Tech Trade Instructor for Hospitality, Tourism, and Guest Services, for her initiative to showcase the importance of social media in the modern food industry. In collaboration with Digital Media, Jenkins has launched a documentary project that shows students that successful publicity is just as important as the quality of food at an establishment.
Jenkins noted that the “docuseries” videos being created are a good companion to the Wright Bean coffee shop. Jenkins started the trade-based coffee shop to help students understand how to create a business and market it successfully. The Wright Bean, which has held pop-up service around Stamford, serves speciality coffees, smoothies, and other hot and cold beverages.
The first promotional video in the docuseries was for Winfield Coffee in downtown Stamford. Watch the VIDEO!
The feature on Jenkins appears in the March 2022 issue of Total Food Service Journal. The magazine was distributed to all hospitality industry professionals during recent Restaurant and Coffee Fest Show in New York City. It is also available to view online. CLICK HERE.
