When the Michigan State football team played the University of Michigan on October 15, the Noodles & Company located on MSU’s campus broke the record for single-store daily sales in Michigan.
On this particular football Saturday, the restaurant was open from 10:45 a.m. until 11 p.m., and the Noodles & Co. staff stayed busy all day, serving what seemed like a never-ending line of hungry football fans, said Mike Endres, the Marketing Director.
Kelly Lysaght, an MSU student who was unable to attend this rivalry game because of her job commitment, worked from noon to 10 p.m. and saw enough Spartan and Wolverine attire from behind the counter that she still felt like she was part of the weekend's festivities.
Along with the rest of the Noodles & Co. team, Lysaght rotated between quite a few different jobs that day, including working the cash register, running food to the tables, and busing.
This busy restaurant is one of the many, popular places to eat on Grand River on any given day of the week, so few changes had to be made when preparing for this noon game. The only differences were that four managers worked together and a little extra prep was needed in the afternoon.
Even though it was a stressful and hectic day for the Noodles & Co. employees, the staff did what it could to stay calm and make sure that all of the customers left happy with their hungry stomachs full of delicious pasta.
