Eno Pizza apprentice, TY Competition


We at Eno' Bar & Grill are delighted to announce the launch of our "Eno' Pizza Apprentice" Competition. The competition is open to Transition Year students to develop a pizza in competition with other TY students from their own and other schools. The participating schools are O'Fiaich, St Vincent's, St Louis, and St Mary's. The teams have been working throughout the first term with their Home Economics teachers to develop their initial concept. They were then given access to Eno's trained in-house Pizzaiola (Pizza chef) and the management team for a number of consultations, covering the pizza recipe itself, pricing, promotion, charity link-up, plus a unique behind-the-scenes insight into the restaurant trade. Each team has chosen a charity to which their pizza will be linked such that a proportion of the sale price of each of their pizzas sold will go to that charity. Each team's pizza will remain on the menu for 11 days, from Thursday to the following Sunday. The winning pizza will be based on a combination of (a) Sales, and (b) Votes via the Eno' Facebook page. The winning pizza will stay on the Eno' menu until the end of the acadamic year 2012. In addition, the proceeds to the charity will continue to be made for that period. The winning student team will be invited for a meal in Eno', to include up to 4 nominated staff members from that school who contributed to the success of the project. There are two additional prize categories – Best Marketing, and a prize for naming the competition which was awarded to St Louis school who devised the name "Eno' Pizza Apprentice". We have been very impressed by the approach and professionalism of the participating teams and their schools, and wish all the participants the very best of luck in this exciting and challenging competition.
