Any use of a District #281 kitchen facility must include a Nutrition Service’s employee on site for the duration of the period of use at a charge of $55.00 per hour. The employee will supervise the operation of equipment and use of the facility, but the renting group must provide workers to do prep work, set-up, selling/serving, and cleanup, including washing the pots and pans. Additional Nutrition Services Staff may be hired to take on these additional duties for an additional rate of $55 per hour per person.  A linen service charge may be incurred for linen supplies used for your event.

Your group must have a person in charge, plus an adequate number of helpers for all shifts. Additional charges may apply if the kitchen is not clean and orderly after use for an event. Please refer to the Kitchen Use Guidelines for more information on expectations of Kitchen Use. No children under the age of 14 are allowed to be in District kitchens due to safety and Health Department Regulations.

All schools may need an additional licensure through Hennepin County if they are inviting the public to their event. More information can be found here, https://www.hennepin.us/envhealth, under the Mobile Food Units an Itinerants drop down menu.

It is the responsibility of the organization to file supplementary permits with their local Health Authority, if required. You may check with the Health Authority overseeing your school directly, if you have any questions or concerns.
