Operated and managed by hospitality management students, the restaurant embodies Cal Poly Pomona’s learn-by-doing tradition and is a central component to food and beverage emphasis of The Collins College of Hospitality Management’s curriculum. The menu at at the RKR often features fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs from the restaurant’s one-acre, award-winning culinary garden giving students a farm-to-table lesson in seasonal menu planning and preparation. The garden, nestled on the eastern hillside just outside of the restaurant, is maintained by Don B. Huntley College of Agriculture students and harvested by hospitality management students. Undergraduate students sharpen their professional experience by providing excellent guest service, preparing quality food, and creating and executing strategic restaurant management plans. They rotate weekly through various positions in both the front of the house and back of the house in order to learn all aspects of a hospitality operation.
