After signing in, you should be given a role and/or setup task. Most jobs are POS attendants, taking customer orders and payment and serving beer. A limited number of backup/runner and kitchen jobs are available.
You should use the checklists to help you complete the task successfully. If you are new, please ask another volunteer or the stand manager for help.
After the stand meeting, we will finish any remaining setup tasks, make sure the stand is clean and organized and begin serving food for volunteers. ‘
At the end of the event, everyone must help clean. All checklists must be turned into the stand manager. Once verified, you will sign out by writing your shift end time on the Achieving Dreams sign-in sheet
