On the morning of your booking, please go to the AUS office (Leacock B12) to pick up the following supplies from the AUS Assistants: a food warmer (only for bake sales), plastic gloves, a serving spoon, hairnets, cleaning spray, a thermometer, an extension cord. Be advised that your group is responsible for supplying clean serving utensils, napkins and plates. Also, ensure that all of your food is served in from food-grade containers (i.e. Tupperware).

After you have finished tabling, please return the equipment and supplies to the AUS office on or before 5:00pm on the day of your reservation. Please ensure that returned food warmers are washed before they are returned. Food warmers may be washed at the SNAX closet beside the Leacock porter’s office. If equipment is not returned by 6pm on the day of your reservation, you will incur a late fee of $10/day.
