Lunch Instructions

Thank you for providing lunch for the clients at First Stop.

Here are some suggestions to make your lunch meal service a pleasant success.

1. Include in your lunch (Note: You are encouraged to use your judgement and discretion in the preparation of the meal. Feel free to modify this suggestion as you see fit.):
   1. A hot entrée
   2. Vegetable/Salad (Side Item)
   3. Dessert
   4. Juice (boxes or bottles) or water
2. Our kitchen is small and has limited cooking space. We suggest that your lunch be hot when you arrive or only require warming to serve. This, of course, may not always be possible, depending on your food choices, but please be aware of our limitations.
3. Please prepare to feed 100-120 clients.
4. The staff may ask you to make extra plates of lunch for late arriving clients. Please work with the staff. If you have sufficient food, the staff may also have a meal after all the clients have been served their second plate of food. Seconds are served after 12:50 pm.
5. Use the materials provided to wipe down all of the serving surfaces in the kitchen. Staff and clients are willing to help, please allow them as you can.
6. Bring 3 to 5 people to serve the meal. Space is limited.
7. Please arrive between 11:30 and 11:45 am. Lunch is served from 12:00 pm – 1 pm.  If there is enough food, seconds will be served at 12:50 pm.

9. Wear gloves (provided) when serving lunch.
10. Please use the hand sanitation materials provided before serving any food.
