Dining Hall Hopper Service

(Rules of Engagement / Guidelines for Effective Service)

 
   
 
   
  • About 20 hoppers are required for each engagement or meal session

  • 5 inside the kitchen

  • 3 people to direct traffic in the dining hall.

  • Rest in the Dining Hall.

  • Hoppers must be present 20 minutes before the engagement.

  • Menu for the session will be shared with the Hoppers before every meal session

  • One hopper must be present at a table to help Guests with any requests.

  • Hopper must usher people so that every table is filled in uniformly.

  • One hopper will service only one table. Speak gently with the guests, but a little louder to overcome the Dining Hall noise level.

  • Try to avoid accidents. Keep slow pace in the dining hall. Avoid rushing into kitchen to replenish the Guest needs.

  • Do not rush to provide desserts until the Guest has completed his/her main course.

  • Kids will be seated with their parents on one end of the Dining Hall reserved for them.

  • Hoppers will ask the kitchen supervisor for replenishments. Guests, once seated should not have to go back to the line or kitchen for seconds or refill. Coffee, Tea or any other items must be delivered to the table.

  • To accommodate all devotees in a short period, Hopper must clean the table as soon as it is available. Table Cleaning Cloth is available with the Kitchen Supervisor.

  • Hoppers must wear a scarf. The scarf must be returned at the end of the engagement to the location specified in the dining hall. The scarf must be maintained clean.

  • Hoppers must keep an eye for trash cans getting filled up and alert Dining Hall Supervisor.

  • Hoppers, like all other guests must present meal tickets for receiving food.

  • Hopper must stay around for clean up until the partner hopper finishes their round of food.

  • Hopper can start to eat early if necessary.  Please drop off the scarf if you plan to eat in the middle of engagement.

  • Volunteers are required anytime to prepare plastic ware/napkin kits and other essentials for next day’s engagement.

  • Hoppers must stay back for Dining Hall Cleanup after the session is over.
