The Kitchen Manager, one Kitchen Staff and the Merchandise/Kitchen Assistant must be in the kitchen each morning to prepare breakfast.  Two Kitchen Staff will make the Sam’s run daily, or every other day.  The kitchen staff that prepares breakfast does not have to make the Sam’s run.  This will rotate each day so the same people are not getting up each morning or making the Sam’s run.  (The Kitchen Manager will make a daily schedule for the week.)  All kitchen staff must help clean up after breakfast.  The Sam’s run will be made after breakfast and when possible the Enterprise truck will be used.
