COVID-19 Updates

In response to COVID-19, services for the Renegade Room have been modified to address industry guidelines and protocols. Bakersfield College has implemented a mask requirement while inside of building.  Of course our guests will remove their masks during their meal, but we ask when not seated at the table, please wear a mask.  Our focus is to promote comprehensive practices while providing our customers and community nutritious goods. This provides real-time experience activities, preparing them for our current service industry accommodations. We will keep our information updated as necessary. Your continued support of our student culinarians during this time is greatly appreciated.

VACCINATION REQUIREMENT

To preserve the health and safety of all students, employees, and the public, everyone on campus must wear a mask and show proof of COVID 19 Vaccination by 11/01/2021
Starting November 1, 2021, all students, staff, visitors and faculty are required to be vaccinated against COVID-19 to access district property. All individuals who do not submit their vaccination information will receive a red pass on their KCCD Campus Pass app and are not allowed to access in-person services.

Getting vaccinated prevents severe illness, hospitalizations, and death. Unvaccinated people should get vaccinated and continue masking indoors once fully vaccinated. With the Delta variant, this is more urgent than ever. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released updated guidance for vaccinated people based on new research on the Delta variant. To reduce personal risk and protect our community, we strongly urge every member of our community to be fully vaccinated at the BC Student Health and Wellness Center or schedule an appointment at MyTurn.ca.gov.

KCCD APP

Bakersfield College has implemented a daily heath checker via our KCCD app that guests will need to complete before they enter campus.  Once on campus, please scan the QR code at the Renegade Room.  If you get a "red pass" on the KCCD app, unfortunately you will not be able to dine with us for the balance of the semester.  Please visit our Campus Pass App page and find links on downloading the app, as well as a great tutorial on how to use it.

The Renegade Room Restaurant is a public restaurant operated by the students enrolled in the Foods and Nutrition Program. The program incorporates lessons in nutrition, cost control, supervision and management, baking, food production, dining room services and food service safety and sanitation.

These skill sets are then applied to hands-on training experiences in both the Kitchen and Dining Room Lab stations. Students are given production menus and schedules to prepare fresh meals, while others see to the Customer Service end of business waiting tables in the Renegade Room upon reopening.
