Davis, base restaurant officer. In the report to Captain Davis. Captain George C. Barger, medical inspector praised the base restaurant highly. "The 'civilian cafeteria has consistently maintained a rating of superior or excellent. In view of the small number of personnel a total of ten which accomplishes the operation of feeding approximately 1200 persons on such a high level of efficiency, the manager and personnel are highly commended," he said. "The cafeteria's accomplishments are indicative of excellent managerial ability and cooperation among the employees." According to Captain Davis, the main reason the cafeteria received this superior rating is because of the ability of the manager, Bern-har- d "Dutch" Hinrichs. But Dutch modestly says it's because of his $ employees. "Without the cooperation and loyalty of the 10 people working for me, my hands would be tied," he said. Running a cafeteria that serves as high as 1600 customers a day with only a handful of employees is no easy task, according to Captain Davis. A lot of planning and just plain hard work is necessary to keep the cafeteria running as smoothly as it does, he said. "One way we keep the cafeteria going with the limited number of employees is to have each employee trained to do all the various jobs we have," said Dutch, who has over 20 years experience in managing federal'cafeteria. If the employees sees work piling up on another one, they all step in and help him," added Dutch, who also doubles as dish washer, server, cashier or cook if the need arises. "We would like to make the cafe teria just the way the civilians would like it," added Dutch. "We would appreciate suggestions from those who eat here on what they LIKE to eat and HOW they would like it fixed. I want the civilians to know that the cafeteria belongs to them, with all profits being turned over to the civilian welfare fund. With continued cooperation of my employees and suggestions from our patrons there s no reason why we can't have one of the finest cafeterias in this vicinity," Dutch concluded.
