Hoot returns after a month
Say goodbye to those unsatisfied late night cravings, because The Hoot has reopened as of Feb. 17.
According to Genesis Hahn, the general manager for The Hoot, the most significant change made during the extended closure is to hours of operation.
“The Hoot now operates from Monday-Wednesday and opens at 8:30 p.m.,” Hahn, a Hanzen College senior, wrote in an email to the Thresher. “This is to allow Cart Noodles to open from Thursday-Saturday, and the later opening hour is to reflect the changes made to servery hours,” Hanh said.
Hahn said The Hoot plans to change their ordering to better suit the food that students want at the times that they are most likely to purchase.
“We hope to better understand student schedules by consistently monitoring social media and ordering an appropriate amount of food to reflect our projections,” Hahn wrote.
Returning to the menu are Oui Banh Mi, Papa Johns Pizza and Raising Cane’s, in addition to various snacks and beverages. However, Hahn said the Hoot is also planning for specialty items such as Whataburger or Cinnabon. Furthermore, Hahn also said The Hoot’s menu pricing will remain the same as last semester.
Hahn said the delayed opening was due to the new schedule as well as hiring and
“As we were communicating with H&D about new food options and servery schedules, hiring and onboarding staff, reorganizing our storage space, and planning for the future (such as projections for ordering with our new hours), we didn’t want to rush anything by opening before we felt everything was ready,” Hahn wrote.
