CULINARY UNIT 
The Culinary Unit in the clubhouse model is a very important unit. They supply breakfast, snacks and lunch to all who want it in the clubhouse. It is not only a place where meals are prepared, but it also is a place where members learn how to do supply inventory and cashier as well.


It is the only thing that members of the clubhouse pay for. We charge a minimal amount for lunches and haven’t yet started breakfast hours or a snack bar due to our shorter than 8-hour work day.


As we grow with more members we will also grow with a longer day and will be able to add these things to our culinary unit. We are really looking forward to that day.
