If you haven’t noticed, people at Port City love coffee! That’s why we need awesome volunteers to serve in the café. Each week there is the opportunity to serve coffee to many Port City goers, which if you’re a coffee-drinker, you know how much this can mean to someone!
In order to manage the chaos behind the café counter, we’ve come up with some things that will help do just that!
• The schedule is broken down in such a way that you will serve with the same team each time you serve, once every three weeks. Since the café is open during both service blocks, volunteers serve the entire service.
Here are the times:
9:00am service: Serve from 8:15 -10:20
11:00am service: Serve from 10:20-12:20
4:00pm service: Serve from 3:15-5:20
6:00pm service: 5:20-7:20
• The Café will close down in between each service. This will allow the team to prepare and clean up for the next service.
• Team-work: Each team is made up of 6 to 8 volunteers and a captain who will lead the team. The captain will assign positions, monitor the overall functions of the café, and care for the team as a whole.
• You will be provided with a host team t-shirt. We encourage you to wear your t-shirt while service, however it is not a requirement. Your first volunteer t-shirt is free! Additional t-shirts can be purchased for $5.00 in the bookstore.
Service positions within the café:
Brewer: You will be responsible for grinding the appropriate amount of coffee and keeping the brewers going throughout the service.
Server: You will be at one of the café stations. Each station has a pot of regular coffee, a pot of decaf coffee, coffee cups, and sleeves.
Condiment Station Restocker/Café Greeter: Your job is to be on the café floor making sure everything is stocked, as well has helping with the flow of people during busy times. In the café, the busiest time is right before the service starts.
