But Jacobs family members say they worry about how well Aramark will care for the park because, they contend, sentiment takes a back seat to profits at large, publicly traded companies. “It’s like our baby is now being cared for by somebody who doesn’t quite have the same passion,” Jeremy Jacobs Jr. said.

what a strange way to discover what is really a massive change in the park.

We like to spend our milestone anniversaries at the Ahwahnee and the last visit was a disaster from the start and the manager didn't take the initiative to see that the rest of the stay went well. It took a five page letter to list all that went wrong that weekend and I never got a response from anyone from DNC much less one of the Jacobs.

I've only experienced Aramark as a food service provider at sports arenas like the SAP Center in San Jose. Compared to other concessionaires that service sports arenas and stadiums like Centerplate (AT&T Park and Levi's Stadium) and Levy's Restaurants (Oracle Arena), the food served by them at the SAP Center is more reasonably priced and more consistent (in a good way) in taste.

They were at the Oakland Coliseum (stadium) but I'm not sure who's running the show now. However, that was kind of a different operation, where basically their name was on the beer cups, but otherwise it was the local employees who you got to know and trust.

I suspect that the longterm employees of DNC will be offered jobs with Aramark just as the longterm employees of Curry & Co. were offered jobs with DNC. There will probably be some changes in the management positions (we can only hope), but my guess is that many of the frontline concession employees at Yosemite will remain the same.
