KITCHEN

Welcome to Clementine!

It's great having you in our space! We have some requests of you in order to keep Clementine clean for the next event.

Please let the venue manager know if you do not find the kitchen in a clean condition as we expect the kitchen to be returned to the condition in which you found it.

WHITE BOARD: Stack racks of plateware, flatware and glasses on sidewalk for easy rental company pickup and floor cleaning.

SINK: Do not wash anything in the sink as we do not have a grease trap.

TRASH: Remove all trash. Break down boxes and put other trash in trash bags (found on the shelves) before putting them in the dumpster in the alley. Rinse garbage cans and return to shelf area. (Hose adapter for the sink is on the wall by the shelves.). Do not put new trash bags in wet garbage cans.

TABLES: Wipe down the stainless tables with microfiber towels and then finish them with the glass cleaner and a dry towel. (This means moving the tables, cleaning sides + lower shelves.)

FRIDGE: Wipe down inside + out / clean glass using glass cleaner.

ICE: There is an ice maker directly above the kitchen. Do not but bags of ice or anything else in the ice maker.

STOOLS: Wipe down if you used them. Stack and return to shelf area.

WALLS: Wipe off any spills.

FLOORS: Use several mop pads (one does not get it done) and the mop bucket (adding one of the pre-measured cups of solution) and be sure to get underneath tables.

LOCKERS: Check lockers for personal items before leaving. If you think you have left something, please email us.

WHITE BOARD:  Add your name at the top before leaving as we keep track of who last cleaned the kitchen.

CHECK-OUT with venue manager before leaving. We appreciate you and look forward to seeing you soon!

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE KITCHEN

What if we need something?

Ask the venue manager. Does the hand towel dispenser need paper? Where's the bathroom (around the corner)? How do I prepare the mop bucket?

Can we get lights over the buffet?

Yes, we have pin lights in h ounce. If they are not on over the buffet, please let the venue manager know!

What is the floor mopping procedure?

This is important. Mix one plastic cup of cleaning solution with water in the stiffer mop bucket and mop with some downward force. Floors will not get clean without soap and without some elbow grease. Use at least 3 mop ads to get the floors clean.

Can we leave before the event is over?

If food and beverage service (if you're providing the bar) is over and you've checked out with the venue manager, then yes. Otherwise, we require at least a skeleton crew to bus food and beverages until the end.

Are staff meals expected?

Yes, we require clients to provide meals for our venue managers and the security guard, so two or three in total.

Can we use the upstairs storage room?

With the coordinators permission (who know the storage needs of the event), you may use this room for water service. This room may not be used for bussing. Please keep an aisle open to the sink.

Can we set up tray jacks?

Yes. Please don't place them (or anything else) in front of doorways or other traffic areas.

Can we use the dressing room?

The dressing rooms are for client and band use only, sorry.

Can we assist the coordinator?

Please let us know if the coordinator has asked for your staff to move tables or otherwise help with their duties or those of other vendors. We rarely allow this.

Where should we park?

The catering supply truck should park next to the kitchen doors. Staff should park in Richland Park or on the street well away from the building so that guest may park closer. If you have parked in the alley, please re-park your car.

Why must we put plates and glassware on the sidewalk?

When all dishes, glasses and flatware are put outside, you can mop the entirety of the kitchen floor and the rental company may more easily pick up these items.

Can we have some other company serve our food?

No. Caters must provide their own staff for serving and servicing all food related aspects at the event.  

What is leaking from the ceiling?

There is a storage room above the kitchen with an ice maker and utility sink. If water or ice is spilled on the floor of this room, a leak into the kitchen will occur. Don't panic, just go upstairs and wipe up the water/ ice spill.

Are propane tanks allowed inside?

No. They must remain outside and away from an entry door.

What else should we know?

Please do not sit or stand on the kitchen tables.
