Purpose
Welcome to the Buzz Marketing staff
kitchen! Our kitchen is a shared space where
everyone can enjoy a break, grab a snack, or
have lunch. As a part of our ongoing efforts
to make Buzz Marketing a great workplace, we
are happy to provide a variety of snacks and
drinks for everyone to enjoy. These are
available to all staff members and are
restocked monthly during our scheduled
shopping run.
Application
We kindly ask everyone to adhere to kitchen etiquette guidelines to
ensure a pleasant and clean
environment.
Guidelines:
Wipe Down Counters After Use
Please clean any spills or crumbs
left on the counters immediately after use. Cleaning supplies are provided under the sink.
A clean counter is welcoming and reduces the
risk of pests.
Wash Your Dishes
After enjoying your meal or drink,
please wash any dishes, utensils, or glassware
used. If you have used any common kitchen
items, such as pans or cutting boards, clean
them and return them to their
rightful place.
Microwave Use and Aromas
To maintain a pleasant aroma in the
kitchen and surrounding areas, please refrain
from microwaving anything with seafood or smelly cheeses (for example). The
strong odours can linger and may not be
appreciated by your colleagues. This applies to any food items you bring with you to the office. Please be scent sensitive and refrain from bringing food with powerful smells.
Responsibility for Paper Towels
In the spirit of maintaining a clean
and functional kitchen and snack area, if you
notice that the current roll of paper towels
is almost used up, please take a moment to
replace it with a new one. The extra rolls are
stored in the designated cabinet under the
sink or on the shelf in the Production
room.
Refrigerator Use
There is a weekly fridge clean-out.
Our fridge gets cleaned out every Friday
afternoon. Please label your items with your
name and the current date. Any items left in
the fridge by Friday, at the end of the day,
will be discarded, except for company-provided
condiments and beverages. This policy helps us
keep the fridge clean and free of expired or
forgotten items.
Respect Other's Food
Please do not take or use someone
else's food or drinks without permission.
Everyone's respect for each other's belongings
is crucial for a harmonious workplace.
Recycling & Composting
We are committed to sustainability.
Please follow the recycling and composting
guidelines that are posted above the
bins.
Moderation is Key
Please enjoy the snacks and drinks
in moderation. This ensures there is enough to go around for everyone throughout
the month. Remember, the aim is to offer a
little pick-me-up during the day rather than
to provide full meals.
Mindful Snack Sharing
To ensure everyone
enjoys the communal snacks, we ask that you
practice mindful sharing, especially with
snacks provided in large boxes or containers.
Instead of taking the entire box to your desk,
please use a cup or bowl to take a portion.
This helps maintain hygiene and ensures that snacks are fairly
distributed among all team members.
Diversity of Choices
Our snacks and drinks cater
to various tastes and dietary requirements.
Feel free to suggest items to the Office Admin
if you have a specific preference or dietary
restriction. Budget permitting, we will do our
best to include your requests in the following
shopping run.
As members of the Buzz Marketing
team, we are fortunate to share a workplace
that not only fosters creativity and
collaboration but also cares for your
well-being through amenities like the staff
kitchen and the snacks and drinks provided.
These privileges are a token of appreciation
for each team member's hard work and dedication. To ensure these benefits
continue to enhance our work environment and
are enjoyed by all, we ask everyone to adhere
to the guidelines for kitchen use
and the consumption of office-provided
snacks.
