New Kitchen Rules

In order to reduce congestion in the kitchen, the following  will go into effect at the next Baronial Feast:

1 - No one without legitimate business in the kitchen may go into it.

2 - There will be a sign posted on the back door stating  this.

3 - Those desiring to use the kitchen facilities to prepare their own food or food for sale at Market Faire must make prior arrangements with the Kitchen Staff, the names of which will be enumerated at the end of this post.  

4 - All using the kitchen for 3 above must demonstrate to a member of the Staff that they have policed their preparation area to Inn standards.  Should it not be, or the person leaves the Staff will see to the cleaning and charge between 1-5 gold.  Until such time as payment is received, kitchen privileges will be suspended.  Alternatively, one can contract and pay in advance to have one's area cleaned.  This is highly advisable.

5 - Ice box space is limited.  First call is Feast.  Second is the Inn's Saturday breakfast and coffee supplies, which is limited to one shelf.  Third is for those selling at Market Faire.  After that, it is first come.  Space may not be reserved by others for you.  

6 - People are STRONGLY urged to bring  their own storage (coolers) which can be kept on the porch with access via the door in the ice box room.

7 - People storing  food in the ice boxes must mark their items.  Bring your own marker, as the two markers and tape provided disappeared early last Feast.  We will provide two again, but when they are gone, they are gone.

8 - People desiring access to their food in the kitchen must do so with the knowledge of one of the bartenders or Staff.

9 - We have two carafes.  Those doing paperwork are urged to contact  the kitchen and in ten minutes a carafe of hot water and coffee, along with canisters full of sugar, cream, etc, will be delivered or can be picked up by someone.  There is no cost for this service.

10 - Ditto for Breakfast.  Payment will be worked out.

11 - Those in charge of Feast are Kings of the Kitchen and always have access.  As a courtesy we ask that they provide Fr. Haroldson or Quan Liu with a rough idea of their space and time requirements.

KITCHEN STAFF - in addition to Zander, Fr. Haroldson, and Quan Lie, Fr. Paul and Kleidin have supervisory authority and may approve anything listed above.

Respected Father Edwin Haroldson,

Is this meanings that you will be spending much times in the kitchens yourself?  While I have all the respects for you that you are deservings, you do suffers from... forget doctors term for curse for bits falling off... leopard-seeds?  Da?

I do not eats meats... nor do I really wants bits of Valos priest in coffees... I thinks it would makes far too strong and bitter.

Is concerns...

Can you grow whole new leopards from leopard-seeds?

A.A.

Lord Abendroth,

I see the meaning there.  I thinks most could only grow cats tails from these seeds.

-Paetros

      Of course Father Haroldson isn't directing these comments to the nobility of Travance to whom these changes only serve to benefit you all as you will be receiving the service you deserve and should always have it afforded to you...

A small addendum to non staff in the kitchen.  I've been here no longer than two months and we've already had a tremendous issue with the money box.  I will not, I repeat, REFUSE to suffer theft at my bar.  No one is to leave any manner of valuable in the kitchen, except with express permission from myself, Edwin or Liu and anyone caught stealing or suspected of stealing anything at all of any kind will be immediately turned in.  This will be very heavily enforced.

Thank you.

I sympathize with your plight of having the tavern earnings stolen. I suffered through this annoyance at one time myself in a life that seems a lifetime ago. Might I suggest taking a look past your bar and into the shadowy corners of your inn, where cigar smoke and shifty glances abound.

But don't let your actions 'disturb the peace' of Travance. That could annoy authority figures if harmony was challenged for righteousness.

Me think secret out.
Yes, Blade learning art of hunting those who seek not be found!
Me thought me tell Slack him no tell people, me not too good yet.
But me like inn... you remember when other stupid ogres come,

You need people know what Blade mean?

Next time you need help, cigar smoke look you!
Blade for hire!
