During Christmas break, Jeff Every left Bon Appétit Management Company, ending his job as Hillsdale’s general manager of Bon Appétit. Until a full-time replacement for Every can be found, Christopher Gumm will serve as Hillsdale’s interim general manager.
Gumm said the next permanent general manager will be hired before the end of February.
“The students and staff at Hillsdale can expect the same level of service during this transition,” Gumm said.
After Every’s departure, Gumm stepped right into Every’s shoes — working with chefs, the board manager, and the catering manager.
According to Gumm, chefs manage the kitchens and schedule workers, so the operations of Knorr Dining Room, as well as Bon Appétit’s other food vendors on campus, should remain operationally unchanged.
While few details about Every’s departure are publicly available, Gumm said Every had accepted a position in another company closer to his home.
“It was [Jeff’s] choice to leave the job and we wish him well,” Gumm said.
