Patio Server Stations


Hi team,

Our patio service stations are even more visible than the indoor ones, so we need to be extra careful with the set up. As follows:

The green station should be for clean things only:


 In that station: 


- a box for roll ups (needs to stay there even if we are out of roll ups, as we bring roll ups back from tables after seating them and don't want the roll ups just seating on the rack.
- a box with "loosie" silverware. under the loosies: folded napkins for guests who need an extra!



- mise trays (not pictured)
- stacks of plates
- water pitchers (with the napkin folded over--not pictured)
- tray with glasses full of water. This is something we should be doing only during super rush hour. It doesn't look good, plus the water gets warm. I understand it needs to happen sometimes, but not always.


On the other hand, look what we've got!:




 Yep, that's an ice chest, full of ice (two buckets) and several water bottles with caps. The caps are re-used wine caps and should definitely not go to the tables. put them in the handy container to be re-used. Don't throw any out!

Also, there is a bucket under the ice chest to collect the melted ice. Needs to be emptied at the end of the night, and checked again in the morning.


Now for the "other station":



This is where all the less clean things go. Please make it as neat as possible, and make sure we always have:

- Trash can on the left
- Recycling on the right
- a bus bucket and space for boards
- sanitizer and a container for rillettes jars. 
- a stash of clean folded kitchen towels (on the left)
- one (or two) "in use" kitchen towels (on the right)
- one (or two) spray bottles
- a box for soiled linens
- a stack of check presenters, pens, trays

Also, one of these:


There is now one of these in every station. It should be self explanatory: it keeps signed receipts so that we don't loose so many, it also frees up more books to go to the tables. Do I even have to say this?: don't take these to tables!!


One more thing: please don't keep personal beverages in the patio server stations. A water bottle in the ice chest is fine, everything else should be in the inside station. It's hard enough to keep the space clean without a million starbucks cups. 

Happy Patio Season!
