When coming to volunteer at TASK, be sure to wear comfortable
shoes and clothing you can get dirty. Jeans are fine
but avoid tank tops, open-toed shoes, "belly shirts",
short shorts, "low-rider" pants, etc. We provide aprons,
hair coverings and sanitary gloves for people working
with food.

Leave your valuables at home and make sure that nothing
can be seen through your car windows. Please do not stash
items under the seats or leave them in your trunk. For
your comfort, we have a police officer who periodically
patrols the parking area.
While working on the serving line, here are are some
dos and don'ts to keep in mind....
- BE SURE TO KEEP THE LINE MOVING.
- TICKETS - If you are responsible for ticket-taking,
make sure you know the color of the ticket the floor
manager is using. Provide one tray for each ticket.
Keep a watchful eye on the ticket container and keep
it out of reach of the patrons.
- SERVING SIZES - The kitchen staff will show you how
much food to give each patron. It is important to
give each patron the same amount of food.
- DESSERTS/BREAD - Patrons are permitted to select
which dessert/bread they want when we offer more than
one thing. Be alert for hard, stale, spoiled or moldy
items -- "if
you wouldn't eat it, don't serve it". "When
in doubt, throw it out." Sometimes something gets
past our screenings.
- HANDING THE PLATTER TO THE PATRON - Hand over one
platter at a time and only one platter per tray. Hold
back the next platter until the next patron is ready
to receive it. The same applies to drinks.
- REPLENISHMENT - Alert the kitchen staff shortly before
food or drink containers are empty. It is important
to keep the serving line moving smoothly.
- CLEANLINESS - Keep your serving area as clean and
neat as possible, wiping down as needed. Food that
falls out of the pan must be thrown away and never
put back in the pan.
- COMFORT LEVEL - If you find you are not comfortable
working on the serving line, please let a cook know.
The serving line isn't for everyone and there are
other jobs you can do.
- And through all this, please greet and serve each
patron in your own friendly style. That's an important
part of the meal, along with the food and drink.
- BE SURE TO KEEP THE LINE MOVING.
