Kitchen Duty

The kitchen roster is a whiteboard in the kitchen that outlines who is to cook on which days. It is hung above the kitchen sink and potential cooks volunteer themselves at the end of the Monday meetings (which sometimes occur on not-Mondays). Everyone cooks or cleans on a particular day and if someone is unable to commit when their day comes it is considered a good idea for them to find a replacement.

Those who have kitchen duty go dumpster diving the night before to ensure there is enough food.

Everyone should wash their own plate and washing an additional "thing" means that things stay clean and kitchen duty folk are happier and less stressed! When it comes to the other dishes- they are the responsibility of kitchen duty. If dishes and messy pots are made after dinner has been cleaned then they are the responsibility of those that made them.

History
The kitchen roster is seen by some as the first big victory against a form of anarchism - prevalent in September 2015 for a number of months onwards- where personal responsibility was abandoned by some and so the responsibility fell on a small minority to cook and clean. There was at first great resistance to any form of rules but since the kitchen system was introduced people have been fed and have been far happier than they were before.
