Restaurant

Description
The Good Samaritan restaurant program is located in downtown Beius along the main street, Calea Bihorului. This program trains orphans in food services professions such as cooking and waiting tables. The youth learn such skills as food preparation, serving food, and setting and bussing tables. After completing this program, youth are prepared to work in restaurants and bakeries.

The restaurant opened in June 2001 with funding from Peter Little Publications, located in Northern Ireland. The restaurant is not yet open to the public, but currently serves the Good Samaritan orphans, staff and volunteers, as well as volunteers and staff from Habitat for Humanity.

Goals
The goal of the restaurant is to generate income by opening to the public. In addition, we would like to hire two orphans in full-time, permanent positions at the restaurant in order to assist with training and supervising orphans who are in the Good Samaritan program. We also plan to develop more extensive training for 5-7 youngsters annually in order to better prepare them for jobs in the food services industry.
