Guidelines for Cooks

1.	Please try to be at the park/dance 20 minutes before the scheduled start of your shift, to familiarise yourself with storage areas and procedures.
2.	Put up the tarpaulins over the work area to provide shade from the sun or shelter from the rain.
3.	Gas barbeques can be extremely dangerous if used improperly, and should be used with great caution. Before turning a gas barbeque on, make sure that the connections have been made correctly, and that gas is not leaking from one of the valves. If you have any misgivings, contact the volunteer co-ordinator or park co-ordinator immediately. Barbeques should be turned on ONLY when needed (about the 5^th inning of each game or when there are customers) because they become extremely hot. These barbeques are made for home use and are not intended to be on for long periods of time. Please use great caution when using them.
4.	About the fifth inning of each game, take out hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages and place on the barbeque. Place hot dog buns on the upper rack to warm up.
5.	If you notice supplies are running low, please bring it to the attention of the Volunteer Co-ordinator or Student Helper, who will complete a request for additional supplies. Up to one hour may be needed for the student helper to collect supplies and return to your park, so try to make sure you inform the Volunteer Co-ordinator well in time.
6.	When you take a ticket from the customer, tear it in half before putting it into the garbage bag to ensure it will not be used again.
7.	Wipe down the serving area from time to time to ensure spills are removed and to avoid attracting insects.

	N.B.: your park co-ordinator has the alcohol permit for your park
