SKYVIEWS RESTAURANT
About us
Skyviews, set above the treetops on the sixth floor of the bank of America building, is almost entirely student-run. In addition to the view, the restaurant offers a fine dining atmosphere to patrons, and a venue where RHIM students learn restaurant management from the inside out.
Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management majors at Texas Tech spend hours every week running Skyviews Restaurant, where they say they get not only an education, but also a glimpse of the real world.
They are not your typical students. They leave their books at home. They wear a uniform to class. They don't take notes, they take orders.
Tasks and student workers at Skyviews are divided between three labs. Students enrolled in the first lab arrive early, clocking in at 7:45 a.m. to prepare the restaurant for lunch. This means vacuuming the restaurant, setting the tables, and preparing food.
