Coffee bar set up – everything you need to know

This is not a difficult job, but it does take a little time to set everything
up, particularly on a Monday evening.

Before the session

• Milk will be brought in by Carole or Neil. If they are
  on holiday, they will arrange for someone else to bring it.
• Stocks of biscuits, coffee and teabags are kept in the storage area
  of the bar.

Set up the coffee station

• Empty the dishwasher from the previous session, if this has not already been done.
• Check the sign-up sheets for the expected number of players.
• Set up the coffee station for your floor.
• Fill the urn and switch it on.

Set out:

• Enough mugs for the number of players expected.
• Spoons.
• 2 bowls for used spoons, teabags, etc.
• Coffee, tea and sugar — refill the containers if necessary.
• Milk — kept in the fridge on the first floor.
• The plastic biscuit box — refill with a mixture of plain and
  chocolate biscuits.

At the end of the session

• Encourage players to put their own cups in the dishwasher during the
  evening rather than leaving them all until the end.
• Switch on the dishwasher no later than 9.15 pm.
  A cycle takes approximately 30 minutes.
• Tidy away everything from your coffee station. Leave only the urn and
  cups on the table upstairs, and the urn on the bar counter downstairs.
• Check that no biscuit wrappers or other rubbish have been left in the
  card-playing room.
