🚨 EXTRA EXTRA 🚨⠀⠀
⠀⠀
After two long hard years of working through zoning and design challenges, we’ve finally received our building permit for Dixboro House! I’m so excited to take y’all behind the scenes of the development of this legacy project – restoring over 100 years of restaurant history on a magnificent 6.5 acres in Dixboro Village 😋⠀⠀

Last week, SavCo Hospitality was honored to participate in A2 Public School’s Lunch & Learn panel, an event where local businesses were invited to speak with high school students to tell them about their career paths and answer their questions. Sava and a few other SavCo team members met with some incredibly engaged and curious students of Huron High School, many of whom are in the culinary arts program. We had such a wonderful experience and were so impressed with the insightful questions the students asked – we're hoping that the conversations also inspired students to want to join the SavCo Team in the future!!

Say hello to Dean! He's our third edition of Employee of the Month at @aventura_ann_arbor!! 🎉⁣
⁣
Dean is a veteran server at Aventura and certainly for a reason! He's always willing to help the team, rolls with the punches, and is a straight up animal when it comes to handling volume and staying cool under pressure. ⁣
⁣
We're lucky to have Dean here and can't wait to see what the future holds for this guy at SavCo and his personal life as well! Congrats Dean!! 👏🏻👏🏻

This past Tuesday, a group of the @savas_ann_arbor team members went on a tour of @zingermansbakehouse to see how their amazing breads and pastries are made! 🍞🤓⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Such an impressive and well-organized operation making artisan breads on the daily! Our team walked away with some cool stories to share about the Zingerman's breads we offer at Sava's and all the care taken to make them so special. Big thanks to Jaison and the Bakehouse crew! 👏🏻⁣⠀

Meet Maggie – the quintessential Hospitalitarian!⁣
⁣
What’s a Hospitalitarian you ask? Here at @savco_hospitality, we see it as a person who is authentically generous, welcoming, and passionate about taking care of others. Whether Maggie is in one of our dining rooms or holding our company orientation, her presence fills the room with warmth and kindness. She makes people feel recognized and valued through her attention to detail in every interaction and every aspect of the guest and employee experience. She'll remember your name, your favorite dish, and find any way to go above and beyond to make people feel good. Plus, she teaches others how to do it too! No wonder she’s our company trainer and oversees our greatest assets… our people! Lastly, Maggie is a @ushgnyc alum, bringing that New York signature hospitality right here to Ann Arbor. We’re so grateful for you Maggie! 💕⁣
⁣
Here's a few random tidbits about Maggie to get to know her better:⁣ Maggie is originally from the Finger Lakes region of Upstate NY, a lake person much like many Michiganders, and enjoys running outside, cooking, puzzles, and miniature things! Her spirit animal is a fox, but not a cunning fox, a bushy-tailed, frolicking through the meadow-type fox. She’s an organized person who is energetic and playful at times, but also a quiet observer. Maggie’s partner is the one who bestowed this spirit animal on her when they first started dating because he said she was a bit inconspicuous 🦊⁣

Hospitality In Everything We Do... even our outfits🍀💃🏻👌🏻

It's International Women's Day and we couldn't be more proud to be Woman Founded and Woman Led Sava Farah you inspire us all and are one badass woman 💪🎉⁣⠀
⁣⠀
And to all the incredible women of @savco_hospitality, @savas_ann_arbor, @aventura_ann_arbor, and @wilmasannarbor, you make our world (and restaurants) a better place. You are all such driven women who encourage and motivate us daily!

We love supporting @foodgatherers by donating delicious meals from @savas_ann_arbor!! 🥕🥦💕

We'd like to give a big thank you to our friends at @savco_hospitality! SavCo has supported the Food Gatherers Community Kitchen with meal donations for over a year, and this week they brought a delicious meal of mixed greens with eggs, bacon and a vinaigrette along with a chicken vegetable pasta alfredo and couscous. Yum!

Last week at Aventura, Paella Master Issam prepared the Valenciana Paella for our team 🥘🎉⠀
.⠀
.⠀
We learned all about the history of this iconic dish and its importance in Spanish cuisine, the techniques and steps to make paella, and how Aventura came to be recognized by Wikipaella for being 1 of 2 places in the US that prepares paella in the traditional way.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Best part of the day... tasting the soccarat (the caramelized rice on the bottom of the pan) at the end 😋⠀

Perks from sourcing our coffee locally... we had a coffee tasting and training with Kay from A2's @roosroast yesterday! ⠀
.⠀
.⠀
She showed our staff the proper steps for making a French Press, we did a comparative tasting of the different blends that we offer from the fine folks at Roos (we have four at Sava's!), and talked about how to describe the different flavors found in coffee.⠀
.⠀
.⠀
Needless to say, our staff had a little extra pep in their step for the rest of the day ☕⚡⠀

our hospitality promise

We believe in the power and practice of hospitality and that it can transform the world one small act at a time. Our approach to hospitality is deeply rooted in Besa, the ancient Albanian code of honor that guides our dedication to hospitality and insists that anyone we encounter is to be welcomed, honored and well taken care of.
