To ensure all stations are covered and food gets out in a timely manner, please be certain to work your stations and limit your interactions with clients unless you are taking orders. It is a very small kitchen, we cannot have everyone up front at once.

If there are any customer complaints, concerns or questions please notify the Customer Care Manager or Restaurant Manager.

Free Time & Cleaning

There is no such thing as free time in the kitchen. You are allotted a 30-minute unpaid lunch break for each 6 hour shift worked, and one 10-minute paid break for each 4 hours worked. Outside of these times, you must be working. If we have no orders to complete and all food preparation is done, please ensure you are doing one of the following:

• Cleaning/organizing a station.
• Bussing the tables.
• Keeping up with dishes in the dish room.
• Clearing the dish room.
• Labeling ice cream cups.
• Sweeping the floor.
• Taking out the trash.
• Cleaning/organizing the refrigerator
• Cleaning/organizing the pantry
  or any tasks management suggests.

If all of these things are done and you still have free time, please ask Jenn or your shift lead what else can be done. If you have time to lean, you have time to clean.

Putting away food

We employ the FIFO (first in first out). To ensure this is properly done, make sure ALL food that has been put away is clearly labeled and dated. Put older foods at front and use first.
